Pandora Hope VI headphones by Final Audio Design land at True Audiophile

Pandora Hope VI by Final Audio Design

We go to all the audio shows and listen to everything we can get on our head. Without question these headphones had the clarity, openess, refinement, and sophistication of other headphones - yes we're going to say it - that cost many times more. Final Audio Design has been making audio since 1974 so when they put their design team to work it has far more experience in this field than most companies combined. We overwhelmingly recommend these headphones. So much so that we decided not to carry more expensive brands because we felt the differences were minor at best.

Primare I32 integrated amplifier + Network is a digital dream

Primare I32 Integrated amp with Network Card

Digital audio as most of you know is the present and future of playback. What's got us excited is by putting the Primare MM30 card in the waiting slot in the Primare I32 it becomes a Network player of phenomenal proportions.

Access it from anywhere in your house, with a tablet, phone, computer, etc and you control the music coming out of the I32. Others do that you say? Well the big thing here is the chipset and fact it all stays within I2S. In other words no multiple conversions of the signal before it gets to and out of the DAC chip.

Plus you get the power of an integrated modern amplifier that's muscular and musical. Pulling the full spectrum of music out of your digital file. No harshness or edginess. Full featured. Full remote.

Hello Sweden. Its True Audiophile. Primare arrives...

Primare I22 Integrated Amp w/DAC option

As we mentioned in the BMC section we always look and listen for outstanding design and sonics. Our final entry into best value/sonics/design is the very modern looking Primare line of electronics.

Primare is a very forward thinking company and offers a lot for the money and optional upgrades that just slide into a waiting bay. Like the I22 Integrated Amplifier above. It has plenty of power, a full function modern remote and the option to have a internal DAC - high resolution, low jitter of course - with a bay in the back. If you do not want the DAC built in its just an easy upgrade later.

Primare has everything you could want in a line from amps to CD players to the finest Blu-Ray player on the planet.

B.M.C. audio comes to True Audiophile

BMC PureDac. Now at True Audiophile.

We listen to everything we can at the shows. Solid state is a big issue for us as we love tubes. So we have a strict set of hurdles each brand must overcome. Preciseness isn't a problem with solid state. Organic presentation that makes you want to listen endlessly while it performs effortlessly is what we want to experience.

We've always been interested in BMC products for the wonderful design and unique features. After CES 2014 we heard the latest revisions and the new PureDac shown above (monster DAC for the money) and that convinced us. It was one of the best sounding rooms at CES 2014.

The entire line is well executed with multiple proprietary features that set BMC apart. You can explore the entire line but going to True Audiophile BMC Electronics.

SmarTractor New precision phono protractor by Acoustic Systems

SmarTractor precision phono protractor by Acoustic Systems. At True Audiophile.

Who would spend this amount of money on a protractor for their Turntable? You should. Are you really serious about getting the investment out of your turntable? Normally precision arm/cartridge alignment is a black art. But it shouldn't be. Sadly, most tables just aren't aligned properly which means you're not hearing nearly as much as you should from your record.



After a long search we finally found a protractor that is precision and easy to use. Most importantly the results are impressive.



The SmarTractor is now on our site. It features an all new tangential alignment called UNI-DIN. This is the first modern alignment tangent that has come along in 40 years.


If you put serious money into your table its time for a serious return. Shop now.
