Whether you are a new or returning customer or reader, you can support us!
Liquid Audio is an acclaimed independent Australian hi-fi specialist repairer and content creator, cherishing classic audio since 2010. We – or rather I – am known for repairing and writing about classic hi-fi equipment, promoting an informed, technical approach, and creating extensive and original contributions to the hi-fi zeitgeist.
Why Support Us?
Liquid Audio is the real deal, supporting readers like you and the broader hi-fi community for over 15 years by sharing experience, images and information about amazing classic hi-fi equipment. This website was one of the first of its kind, inspired by legends such as TheVintageKnob and has quietly become one of the most trusted, with over half a million words, 650 articles and videos, and 5 million combined views.
“That’s great”, you say, and it is, but many assume this is the work of various paid employees. Most enjoy the articles, learn something, and leave, not realising that everything is created by me, in my own time, and paid for by me. I’m not paid to create content, and there’s no paywall, advertising or kickbacks.
Every article takes many hours to create; the website admin is ongoing, and all of it is a labour of love, on top of my full-time job maintaining hi-fi equipment. I don’t have a ‘day job’, I don’t steal content or hire others to do my repairs. Several local businesses do all that, and worse!
What Others Think
Just look at what readers and visitors say about my website and articles:
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 …

Hi Mike, loved the Sansui AU-8500 article. I’m not sure where the balance between cost/time and benefits to the business lies… but your articles are quite something and very unique.

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

I love your website (it’s very tidy, clear and easy to navigate, with a wealth of information and photos of desirable hardware). I am also very impressed with the quality of work and level of detail I see on the repairs and restorations you do.

Hello Mike, very nice website and PROFESSIONAL work you perform on this audio vintage gear. Read your Sansui AU-20000 repair page and loved how great your work ethics are … I felt very positive to react on your good work.
