The only way to design state-of-the-art audio equipment is to have
first-hand experience with the finest available recording equipment AND
playback equipment.
This is important for two reasons; it ensures that our designs work and
'mate-well' with other products and that their resolution is not limited
by the weakest link in the playback 'chain'.

products have been conceived using
extensive listening tests with a variety of state-of-the-art ancillary
equipment for more than 25 years.
Our amplifiers have been designed using a variety of state-of-the-art
phono playback equipment and our ABSOLUTE REFERENCE -
a custom-made battery-powered Stellavox SM-8 Tape Recorder using
1/4" tape at 30 ips and a Stellavox TD-9 using 1/2" tape at 30 ips
specially calibrated for the Bruel & Kjaer 4003 1/4" omnidirectional
