The hallmark JRDG musicality cannot be slotted into a simple category, be it solid state (SS), tube-like, or otherwise.  It brings together power, staging, imaging, and control, with an incredible extension devoid of hotspots and suck outs, subtlety and transparency, into a seamless musical whole, devoid of grain but filled with emotion.

This is why lovers of music of all traditions, and from all over the world, have embraced the sensuous refinement of the award winning JRDG sound.

Audio Research prides itself on manufacturing only those products which will provide genuine enjoyment for as long as the customer cares to own them. In company practice, this means that Audio Research technicians can still repair, refurbish and restore to original performance standards virtually any product ever manufactured during the company’s 40-year history.

Indeed, 40-year-old Audio Research designs continue to provide exceptional musical enjoyment daily in music systems around the world. These products are workhorses, not museum pieces.

At Bel Canto we recognize that music is an important part of your life. We know because it’s an important part of ours as well. We’re all looking for those special moments when we dissolve into the music, suspend disbelief and simply enjoy the music. There’s nothing like the experience of emotion; when the outside world affects your internal state and changes how you feel. It’s what Bel Canto is all about!

Digital to Analog converters, Amplifiers and Source Components complete a compact audio electronics system; efficient, low power consuming products that fit easily into your lifestyle.

A huge number of audiophiles – tech-savvy and traditionalists – use computers as a primary music source and like all enthusiasts want the beyond-CD sound they’re capable of.

Bel Canto makes it happen with three new Asynchronous USB Link Converters; the entry-level mLink, moving-on-up uLink, and top-of-the-line REFLink.

These new USB Link Converters isolate the music signal – and clocks – from the harsh, noisy electrical environments of computers and music servers.

DACs on clearance with headphone amps built in- 1.5, 2.7, 3.7  Reference Line, 500 mono power amps, Cd3T transports.

Based upon an asynchronous buffer, voltage controlled crystal oscillators and a 24-bit D/A converter – under the precise control of a FPGA running proprietary algorithms – the Aeris DAC delivers bit perfect conversion and reduces total jitter to less than 10 picoseconds RMS from any input.

We know that true hi-fi is about being able to reproduce the magic of a performance. It’s about experiencing music just as the artist intended, even in the cinema. It is music that delivers the ecstasy and agony of a film’s story. To Marantz, perfect specifications and technical accomplishment count for nothing unless a product can unlock the power, the excitement and the emotion of music.

New Nad digital gear now in the Store

Heinz Lichtenegger, one of Austria's leading distributors of high-end audio brands, founded PRO-JECT AUDIO SYSTEMS in early 1990. As an audiophile and music lover, Heinz 's interest in turntables and analog playback turned into a passion to create turntables, tonearms and analog accessories that were reasonably priced yet that were uncompromised both mechanically and sonically. This passion is what led him and his like-minded colleagues to launch a new business venture named PRO-JECT AUDIO SYSTEMS.

Rega’s philosophy is to make high quality products at sensible prices, as a means of reproducing music as faithfully as possible.

We are committed to the design and development of new and existing products, both in hi-fi and other areas, that will perpetuate Rega’s values of quality and value for money.

By 1983 the time had come for Rega to design and build its own tonearm and so the world famous RB300 (Rega Britain) was born. The high pressure die-cast silicon alloy tube alone took two years to develop alongside the UK's largest die-cast company. The work and our casting subsequently won us an "international casting award" from America for what is still considered today to be a technically impossible casting.

We are excited to Introduce a Hi End line from Germany, Outstanding and with the latest innovative features. Angie
