Art for the eyes. Art for the ears. At the heart of these words is where we live every day. We are Art Audio. Ours is a crusade that carries on where each circuit is pursued with the utmost passion for both performance and musicality.

 

And where industrial design meets old world craftsmanship in a family of products that speaks to a singular level of presentation … where hand polishing, indeed triple polishing of the accessories, is the standing order.

 

Our goal is attaining an unequivocally natural sonic landscape with low distortion and astounding timing accuracy.

 

We welcome you to see what we have achieved through the pages of this web site. Or, certainly more telling, through an audition at a representative near you.
