Where to start

Headphones are a selfishly, personal device. They have lots of different uses and there are many different types. This time I’m going to demystify them to help you narrow down what suits your needs.

Today’s youth are listening to more music than ever before; Earbuds, portable speakers, car radios. Everywhere they go, through streaming media like SoundCloud, iTunes, Spotify and many others, they hold access to every song ever recorded. So why is a generation surrounded by music not interested in Hi-Fi?

To all the people who might be ready to enter the wonderful world that is high fidelity audio, I wanted to share my experiences from the perspective of a novice coming into the store for the first time. Hopefully this will benefit anyone who may feel overwhelmed or intimidated by the process of narrowing down the right products for you. If our roll is to assist you in the process then the more informed you are the better the job we can do for you.

Having recently purchased Devialet Gold Phantom's. I can say these are a breathtaking experience. Sleek and beautiful, these look as good as they sound. Even the packaging is a work of art, I was more excited than Golem finding ‘the ring’. Read my review and see why I can say these are even "fit for a king". 

To keep things simple, there are a few steps we usually run customers through in the shop to make sure they're on the right path. These are factors that should be considered by anyone in the market.

We still get a lot of requests for basic tuners or radios that can handle AM and FM reception, when talking to customers in the showroom.

While these products are still available from a select few of our brands, are they still the best way to listen to your favorite radio stations?
