TLA PROFILE
TLA
was founded by Velissarios Georgiadis back in 1995, but its real origin goes back much further than this. It was
back in 1957 when Velissarios' father Aristomenis, a transformer technician, started his own company, with the aim to
make transformers under order for telecommunications, broadcast, medical, military and industrial implementations. It
was just after 1980 when Velissarios, who was already experienced in transformer building having being taught all his
father's know-how, he started to apply the additional knowledge which he gained from his university degree on
Chemistry and Electronics as to develop transformers that would excel in audio applications of reference standard.
Velissarios developed, built and tested over, countless amplifiers before he transferred all this experience in
TLA
products on the year 1995. The name TrueLife Audio was chosen to underline the target market of
TLA
The search
for True Life sound, where the listener would experience music at home as never before, In a True Life manner!
In the year 2005, young Aristomenis Georgiadis the second (son of Velissarios, named after his grandfather), finished
his studies in Electrical Engineering and having received in the meantime all his grandfather's and father's experience
in making audio transformers and amplification circuits that would excel in performance, joined the company as to
assist in further improvements and the achievement of new levels for realistic sound.
"When we come with a new product, we make it for ourselves first" Velissarios says… A
TLA
amplifier starts its life
with the innovative circuit it integrates being tested in the lab and optimized. Then, after the lab tests have been
finalized and we are sure that our elegant innovation measures up to reference standards if compared with hi-end
devices from other makers that are established in the marked for their quality, we proceed to the next level which is to
transform this same electronic device, into a musical instrument. As a consequence, our elegant innovations are made
so that they age to improve all the time... much like a bottle of good wine... or a gorgeous guitar of the 50s!
