Products

Some of the equipment we have in stock.

Here are some of the fine product lines that we carry. A click on the manufacture's name will take you to their website. We have put the new products at the top of the list.

  • Atoll Acoustique --- Compact, cool running, powerful and tubey sounding solid state gear, designed and manufactured entirely in France! Download the brochure, and see Stereophile's Recommended Components list.
  • Audioengine --- Delightful, economical powered monitor speakers, and a doohickey that allows their speakers, or anyone else's, to receive a signal from a computer or other source anywhere in the house, without intervening wires! Read the review from Stereophile magazine.
  • Peachtree Audio ---- Makers of the Decco integrated amp. This is a muscular, high current amp, a tubed preamp, and a superb digital filterless DAC, with optical, coaxial, and USB ports. We got it in for the features, love it for the sound.
  • Headphones---We're phasing out Sennheiser, not because there's anything wrong with their headphones- it's just that the company ticked us off. We are now featuring AKG and Audio Technica headphones, both favorites in recent HIFI Plus surveys.
  • VERS Simply the best sounding and best looking iPod player system we've found, and only $160! Could also be used with a Squeezebox for simple, cost effective iTunes/web radio access in any room in the house. See our friend George Flanagin's review.


  • Acoustic Zen — The new Adagio loudspeaker and their Stereophile product of the year cables. Of the Adagio, Absolute Sound asks- "What is the sound of no distortion?" We wouldn't go that far, but they are closer to the Quad electrostatics in this respect than any other dynamic speaker we've heard, and man,they are dynamic!
  • ARCAM — Fine English electronic designs, including the oh-so elegant single box solution, the Solo
  • ATC Loudspeakers — Many claim to be "the standard of recording engineers the world over" – these are!
  • Cambridge Audio — Insanely high value per dollar electronics
  • Cayin — a great CD player, a great SACD player, and modern interpretations of the great amps of yore – Model 8B, Model 9, or Mc275- anyone?
  • DALI Loudspeakers — Sophisticated sound, great looks, handmade in Denmark (a hotbed of speaker design – really)
  • Dynaudio — One of the most respected names in audio, making fine speakers in Denmark for over 30 years, Dynaudio is a fairly consistent "shootout" test winner in the British press, even in competition with such British makers as B&W, PMC,and Acoustic Energy. Wonderfully coherent from top to bottom, string tone to die for, and an ease about the presentation that is addictive.
  • Dynavector — A wide range of superb phonocartridges
  • Epos — Great budget speakers that don't do anything wrong, and do a whole lot right.
  • ERA — Also great speakers for not a lot of money, these have bass response that you won't believe can come from such small (and beautiful) boxes.
  • Gallo Acoustics — Speaker orbs – they've been accused of cuteness, but they're great for HT! Their Reference 3 loudspeaker is just great, period.
  • JAS Audio — A new line of ribbon-tweetered loudspeakers – smooooth!
  • Jasmine Audio — From the East – Sensual, Exotic, Tubed, Gorgeous
  • Mirage — Makers of omni-polar speakers that give wide dispersion from tiny cabinets. These mate especially nicely with our entry level system, and make great home theater speakers, computer speakers, and outdoor models.
  • Quad — The world famous British electrostatic loudspeakers, solid state and "valved" electronics, and the surprisingly affordable L-series loudspeakers in beautiful lacquered woods
  • Qinpu — Stunning solid-state designs from the East
  • Slim Devices — The Squeezebox and Transporter. Finally, a whole house wireless music distribution system that actually works, sounds great, and is a piece of cake to operate. So much better than wiring, and if/when you move, you can take it all with you! We've been waiting for a product like this.
  • Tivoli Audio — The classic Harry Kloss Radio, updated and with many new flavors, like the iSongBook, Sirus, and the Pal. All the radio you need. Our Bose beaters.
  • Thorens — Legendary Swiss/German turntables, from an automatic entry level model that'll knock yer sox off to a blue beauty that has caused drooling in grown humans
  • Vincent — German Tube/Solid State hybrid designs – a smart, low maintenance blend of tube smoothness and transistor grunt
  • Wharfedale — "Stunning achievement" loudspeakers from $300/pr
  • YBA Design — Very suave, sophisticated electronics, both aurally and visually, with some of the most beautiful casework and sweetest treble out there. Wonderfully French.

Tivoli radios start at $120. Complete component systems can be on the nice side of a grand. See! We're not just a high-end audio store.
