I believe it’s because we have a trusted, respected and genuinely different approach to working with classic hi-fi equipment.

Our reputation for excellence, the result of hard work and original thinking, respected by customers and visitors worldwide, explains our typically full booking schedule. I’m honoured to assist customers from around Australia and beyond. The hi-fi community trusts Liquid Audio, something I’m especially proud of.

Our approach is so respected that competitors have been borrowing from it for years. Whether it’s flattering or annoying to be directly copied by competitors without acknowledgement I’ll leave it for readers to decide, but I’m certainly honoured to be entrusted with so much lovely hi-fi equipment and I apologise for any delays this may cause.

Liquid Audio. Different.

I designed Liquid Audio to deliver what many others can’t, but there’s a bit more to it, so allow me to explain.

I started Liquid Audio fuelled by my passion for music, hi-fi and electronics and a desire to offer an alternative to the sloppy work, a lack of care and attention to detail, and poor equipment knowledge so common in this industry. The reputation we’ve built demonstrates our success and is a big part of being fully booked with work from around Australia, for much of each year.

Liquidaudio.com.au was visited nearly 400,000 times in 2024 for example, and we have nearly five million views here and on YouTube. It’s an extraordinary result for a one-man, Perth-based specialist to be inundated with local and interstate enquiries and work, despite the added costs of shipping it here and never advertising.

This high level of engagement is the result of years of hard work, a genuine love for hi-fi equipment and a sincere desire to help people. It’s also because I create everything here without any assistance: every repair, image and word, without ‘borrowing’ from others.

I’m so proud that people trust Liquid Audio, but don’t think we please everyone. The key is not to try.

Best Practice

The following aspects of our approach seem to resonate with people:

• Our mantra: educate, add value and do no harm
• We’ve consistently served the hi-fi community under the same name since 2008
• We believe in transparency, so we inspect equipment rather than guess about its condition/faults
• We advise where equipment is damaged or not viable to repair
• We recycle dead hi-fi equipment to be enjoyed again by others
• We champion ethics, professionalism and quality
• We charge fixed workshop rates, Akai or Accuphase, Kenwood or Krell
• We specialise in component-level repair
• We advocate for improved industry standards
• We build and maintain long-term relationships with customers, manufacturers, etc
• We offer a unique, free resource of over half a million words, 500+ articles and videos
• I have a lifetime involvement in science, an honours degree in science and a post-graduate science teaching qualification from one of the world’s great universities, for those who care..!
• I love, live and breathe classic hi-fi!

The Bottom Line

Liquid Audio specialises in preserving and rejuvenating classic hi-fi stereo equipment and delivers benchmark attention to detail, service, and value for discerning customers.
