Why are you often fully booked?

Customers tell me it’s because of our focus, integrity, passion, professionalism, and results.

Liquid Audio is a quality-focused, specialist small business that has quietly become one of the most trusted and respected in the country by:

• Doing what we do well: delivering the highest standards of expertise, passion and professionalism.
• Knowing what we are: not trying to be all things to all people, the cheapest or the fastest.
• Being the real deal: providing genuine expertise, sharing knowledge and creating original content rather than copying others.

These qualities are surprisingly hard to find in an industry plagued by recappers who “don’t repair things, only replace parts”, an approach that can devalue, damage or even destroy irreplaceable hi-fi equipment. I’m incredibly proud of the reputation we’ve built and the trust the hi-fi community places in Liquid Audio.

Reputation

A reputation like ours has to be earned, something we’ve done through hard work, original thinking and a dedication to excellence since 2010. Liquid Audio combines my passions for electronics, hi-fi and music with university science qualifications, 15 years of teaching science, five years at Curtin University, deep technical aptitude and an almost pathological attention to detail—qualities that serve this kind of work well.

This has turned out to be a uniquely valuable skillset, something I didn’t fully appreciate for many years. It means that, despite our modest size, some of Perth’s best hi-fi retailers and equipment owners use and recommend Liquid Audio. Our reputation has also allowed me to work closely with well-known manufacturers and has earned us several offers of official service partnerships, which I’ve declined, and one from Plinius, which I proudly accepted.

Our reputation stems from what we deliver: attention to detail, integrity, technical knowledge, professionalism, reliability, original solutions, trust, consistent results and 16 years of operating under one business name, alongside ongoing contributions to the hi-fi community. It also reflects what we won’t compromise on: workmanship, communication, technical judgement and skill, quality components and tools, and respect for the equipment entrusted to us and the customers who own it.

Passion

Anyone who spends a moment exploring our website knows that Liquid Audio is a labour of love. It’s something people most often comment on. Hi-fi, music and electronics have been my passions since childhood, and that passion ultimately led me to leave established careers in science education and management at Curtin University to pursue Liquid Audio full-time.

I made that decision, even though it meant walking away from the career achievements I’d worked hard to build. Nearly a decade on, and 17 years after starting Liquid Audio, I’m amazed to find myself consistently at capacity, serving customers from around the country and seeing such strong engagement with my content. This website attracted over 360,000 views in 2025 alone, and our content here and on YouTube has received more than five million views.

Your articles are the best in the hifi space anywhere in the world. Better than anything in the hifi magazines, be they Stereophile, Hifi News and Record Review or The Absolute Sound … You bring real science and a genuine appreciation of music reproduction in all your articles. I always look forward to your articles.

Authenticity

Everything you see, read, hear and watch here was created and done by me. That includes designing, building and maintaining this website, all the technical work, inventory, photography, content creation, editing and administration, and personally responding to every enquiry.

By developing service procedures and documenting my work, often where little or no information was previously available, Liquid Audio has become a valuable source of technical information for the hi-fi community. Elements of my website, writing and technical work have also been copied by other businesses over the years. Authenticity is built through years of effort, but plagiarism is instantaneous and completely inauthentic.

Authenticity also means integrity. Customers know they can rely on us to support them and care for their equipment. We never subcontract repair work, and we’ve operated under the same business name since 2007. We take personal responsibility for our work, stand behind our results and value the trust our customers place in us.

Mike … you, of course, are a gem. We are so lucky to have someone as passionate, intelligent, ethical and hardworking in little ol’ Perth.
