- Non-local customers should view these additional considerations
We’re not known for generating particularly large or small bills. Common feedback is that our invoices are generally what people expect and are often considered low for the quality of service and work.

Quality
Businesses championing quality and professionalism are rare these days, and we’re proud to be one. Liquid Audio is trusted for meticulous attention to detail, professional service and contributions to the hi-fi zeitgeist. We are independent, and used and recommended by some of Perth’s best hi-fi retailers and equipment owners.
Those looking for a ‘cut-price, cut corners’ approach won’t find it here, but such businesses are common, delivering shortcuts, poor knowledge and workmanship, ‘Swell-Long’ capacitors, devalued and destroyed equipment, unprofessional behaviour, poor and scrubbed reviews, business name changes and even court cases and seized vehicles! *
Mike … you, of course, are a gem. We are so lucky to have someone as passionate, intelligent, ethical and hardworking in little ol’ Perth.

Our conservative, detail-focused approach delivers peace of mind and the lowest long-term costs. If this approach resonates with you, don’t hesitate to get in touch.

* One local business has had four different names, lost a court case and had a vehicle seized in the last few years. I’ll keep this one up my sleeve for now, but many of you will know who this is.
