“The worldwide revival in vinyl-based analogue music reproduction is alive and growing. That's why we love analogue because it's the birthplace of music”.

Take the best and make it better, only then is it just good enough." Peter Suchy

Peter Suchy, a man with a visionary character and an overwhelming desire to bring these visions into reality; a man who does not follow trends, but creates them and sets new standards; a man who realises his philosophy in the products that carry the Clearaudio name.

Clearaudio products are regarded as innovative, of true quality, and of setting the highest standards by hi-fi specialists and top class engineers alike.

Clearaudio has been setting new standards in the analogue reproduction of music for more than 30 years. You will find Clearaudio in more than 70 countries worldwide with a fully comprehensive range of high-end phono cartridges, tonearms and turntables, phono preamplifiers, class-A amplifiers, plugs, cables, racks and even the audiophile production of vinyl records.

Optimisation and refinement are key features within Clearaudio's headquarters, as is a harmony resulting from the common dreams of a family being realised for another generation.

Nearly every part is made in our factory at Erlangen. All this is done with the same innovative design and visionary energy needed to continually listen to, test and measure our results both acoustically and technically before moving on to producing a constant quality in series production.

For our whole product range we had to design new measurement techniques and equipment to meet our standards, high above the average. For every component designed by clearaudio we guarantee you top-class high-end quality that is built to last.

Whest Audio Ltd is one of the world’s leading manufacturers and designers of premium quality audio signal solutions including our Phono Stage, and Discrete Analogue Processors.

Our philosophy is embedded in a music appreciation approach to innovation and the need to push the boundaries of audio reproduction. Our designs do not follow the traditional but the radical. We invest in research and research the unknown. There are very few high-end audio manufacturers that are truly able to design products that stir the soul and at the same time able to retrieve the resolution which only a few years ago was thought impossible.

We at Whest Audio Ltd believe we are one of those few and believe the only way forward is to innovate. In recognition of this our products have received much critical acclaim by way of awards and reviews from the World's leading Hi-Fi press “If there was ever a product that could upset the apple cart….this is it, the MC REF V is a tour de force to be reckoned with”.

Mono Channel Reference V - a true standard

Brinkmann amplifiers and the secret to musical sounding electrons.  

Perfect music playback isn’t merely a product of accidental discoveries: truth is that in reality it constitutes countless hours of careful optimizations throughout the system chain. For example, each capacitor is carefully auditioned prior to use; as a result, we sample products and components (even PCB boards and solder iron) from many different suppliers in order to pick the best one suitable for the application. Through carefully conducted listening sessions we also discovered that even the most trivial of components such as the different industrial ceramics we use impact the overall sound quality one way or the other. You see, during the sintering process of metal oxides, ceramic becomes very sensitive which results in high frequency distortions. Unfortunately, you can’t quite do without ceramics as it is a key element in resistors, capacitors, switches, potentiometers, tube sockets and many other components. Based on our findings, we therefore try to limit use of these types of sound impairing components to a minimum. We are excited to offer our range of pre-, power and integrated amplifiers, which cover a wide range of musical tastes and applications. 

Esoteric of Japan has been delivering the finest audio components to the most discerning listeners for nearly 40 years. All the components used in building the VRDS - NEO mechanism, CD players, multi-players, DACs -digital to analogue converters, digital clocks and other electronics are hand selected, matched and graded to combine into a single synergistic audio component.

Leaders in their field and winners of numerous awards, there is no compromise...

Our entry level range where serious Hi-Fi begins

Exposure Electronics has been committed towards engineering real hi-fi at real world prices since 1974. The original Exposure products were born out of founder John Farlowe’s obsession for excellent reproduction of recorded music, having worked in studios with the likes of David Bowie and Pink Floyd.

Designed in the United Kingdom, engineered by people who are obsessed with sound reproduction and who are passionate about music. They are committed to two channel stereo and make hi-fi that is fitted with highly specified components. The look of the finished products is best described as “understated.” They say this reflects traditional simplicity and elegance.

The signature Exposure sound, however, is quite something else. There is a delicacy in the upper ranges and openness in the mid range, underpinned by deep yet agile bass that "dances" along. Hi-fi critics have praised Exposure for offering “rightness” in sound as well as the best of both worlds - in terms of the speed and precision of the best solid state designs flavoured with a touch of the "sweetness" of valves.

Hi-Fi News – Re Classic series… “It is on par with the best that I have heard.”
What Hi-Fi & Ultimate Guides & Hi-Fi : The 2010S (CD player) is up there with the best in its class. Fabulous treble, great dynamics and a weighty yet solid bottom-end make for a superb CD player.” “Exposure kit tends to put performance above flashy cosmetics and features. The 2010S (integrated amplifier) is a powerful, straight-talking amp that trades in some of the refinement and insight of the class leaders for a sizeable dose of fun. If you just want to sit back and enjoy music, give it a whirl.”

During the late 1980's, leading Danish industrial designer and passionate audiophile Bo Christensen set out to create a new kind of audio company.
Their corporate mission was, first and foremost, to design components of exceptional sound quality. Secondly, the products should have an elegant appearance, precise proportions and a user-friendly interface.

Mr. Christensen's vision and potent combination of clean Scandinavian design, simple elegant circuitry and straightforward operation created audio components of uncanny originality. Innovative zeal and entrepreneurial dynamism gained Primare a reputation for excellence among consumers and designers alike. The energy to innovate remains at the core of Primare's eternal push for perfection.

The right people, the right skills, and right environments help Primare to make the finest audio and audio-visual products in each class.

The Triode Corporation – Mr Junichi Yamazaki comes to us highly regarded within the Japanese audio field having won many awards for his achievements. Mr Yamazaki designs and manufactures a beautiful range of contemporary styled tube stereo gear including KT88 and 300B tube integrated and mono block amplifiers ranging from 12w to 75w, pre-amplifiers, phono amps, a special tube CD player and a pair of serious high end 200w hybrid mono blocks.

Tri components have the rare ability to bring control and timbre to the bass while still retaining the famous value that tube brings to the mid range. The treble is open and airy without brittleness that is sometimes attributed to tube gear.

Tri audio gear more than most, brings out the joy, beauty and dynamics of music that it will have you listening into the wee small hours of the morning.

During my last challenging project, the "Stradivari Homage", I felt the need to use an internal wiring conductor which was not another product derived from the telecommunication industry with solutions based in radio frequency theories, but a materials solution with properties designed to handle bandwidth frequencies and power levels.

So emerged a new conductor based in conceptual and structural terms, on tThetransfeftheaudiosignal from amplifier to speaker, and in particular those at the micro signal level, depends more on the physical structure of the metal than on the absolute value of conductivity in the wire.

To intervene at a metallurgic level to obtain order and homogeneity of the conductor's crystalline structure, thus providing greater compliance of the music signal within the signal path. Pairing Silver(Ag) and Palladium(Pd) using a new three-phase fusion process is the basic element of the alloy. The crystalline homogeneity of the special alloy is the basis for the metallurgic harmony found in our conductor, almost as if it were a metal "tune". It's all in the process: Well Tempered Argentum Alloy

The result of this development is a speaker and interconnect cable (YTER) that ensures metallurgical coherence in the path from the CD player through to the amplifier to the drivers.

YTER cables manufactured in Italy and are used as the Internal wiring for the famous Sonus Faber Stradivari Homage, Amati Anniversario, and Guarneri Memento speakers.
