Here 5 stars for our visitors! You will find the good reviews about our shop here, but they can be found online overall. We really appreciate the opportunity to drive it. What a celebration, so that every day is filled with positive reports and pleasant meetings. The convenience online and in the store makes it particularly pleasant for us as a team to do so. We fully enjoy the shop and are confident that this will always be possible thanks to the sellers who will give us the opportunity to purchase the items we have available. Thanks everyone!

All good!

Things can go wrong with audio and that is hugely galling. Still, there is always hope at the end of the tunnel. When problems arise, we get right to work, you can count on that.

Many stuff!

Korte luistersessies zijn we hier niet zo van, het snelle switchen tussen sets doormiddel van een schakelaar ook niet, het voluit luisteren naar dat ene kristalheldere geluidje al helemaal niet. Hoe dan wel? Vertel het! Vertel het! Horen we je denken.

Full throttle!

Korte luistersessies zijn we hier niet zo van, het snelle switchen tussen sets doormiddel van een schakelaar ook niet, het voluit luisteren naar dat ene kristalheldere geluidje al helemaal niet. Hoe dan wel? Vertel het! Vertel het! Horen we je denken.

Happy selection!

Because we are in awe of everything! Because we stand behind every product! Because we think the rest of the world is terribly bad! No, we don’t like that bullshit. We think one brand is particularly good, another is particularly popular, then another is not to our taste but is to someone else’s, and there are also brands we were just particularly curious about.

Found you!

People all over the world make music. Rhythms and scales may be completely different but the emotion in melody lines and voices is recognized again and again, even if listeners do not know the type of music. So melodies can actually be linked back to emotional states in the brain, and vice versa. Cool! So for that reason, music lovers can be found everywhere who are willing to search for audio components that can fulfill a piece of music needs. Just browsing at the audio store in one’s own village is too limiting and that’s why we are here! We ship all over the world. Small packages or a heavy pallet, no problemo señor, Herr, sir, haku, 先生, mirze, Monsieur, Κύριε, tuan, سيدي المحترم, sir.

No frustration!

How enormously frustrating it can be, that one component not in your set. The great worries of life! Perhaps we can help you. We put the request down within our audio network. New or used products, come on over.

Stuff it!

On both new and used products we trade in. Ho ho, not everything just like that! Please send us brand, type, plus optical and technical condition, and we will be happy to assess whether we can offer a nice trade-in discount. Unfortunately we cannot trade in everything, it has to fit in the shop. When trading in used products, it is possible that we will only take back the same level of product popularity.

Home sweet!

That tap and twig sound different at our place than at home. It sounds slightly different everywhere. The difference in components, acoustics, cabling, state of mind … real factors that determine. After consultation, listening at home is a possibility to exclude.

No shop!

Saddle us with your audio and we will provide you with a nice return!

Our offerings are followed by many enthusiasts worldwide. Within the used hobby circuit it is often faster time for an audio swap, this is why we also like to trade in consignment products, making it easier to find a new place for your gear.

More info or questions? Send a message, we are happy to explain how we work.

Clean up!

You must have some nice stuff on display! Feel free to send brand, type, plus a description of its technical and optical condition. Unfortunately we cannot just buy everything, we have to be selective. Do not arrive unannounced with a car full of components, we always determine this in advance from a distance.

Claim it!

Audio is often beautifully designed, manufacturers go out of their way to be liked. Yet, things regularly go wrong … because, there’s “the lady of the house. How often we hear that. There is also a man of the house gentlemen! Believe. Believe in yourself. Put things down carefree just as others put down their things carefree. You are shocked anyway: you walk in unsuspecting and suddenly there it is, a hideous vase. What has made men believe that there is an extremely appropriate storytelling moment. No more fear but strength, no more question but communicate, no more doubt but confidence … act like women from now on. Claim your square footage!

So sexy!

Everyone is welcome to visit our shop! We are not present at night but if you do come, we will provide a nice loud welcome tune. Use the long stairs that we curse daily. All fine items can be found in our showrooms, all rooms are provided with a smoke screen by fog machines as part of an appropriate atmosphere. Then, should you decide to walk with heavy gear, be especially careful … and keep your abdominal muscles tensed to avoid back pain. Our night host arrives not much later with broad smiles and broad shoulders for an embrace.

Curious eyes!

Nothing is more fun than passing our low threshold. We do it ourselves daily and never get bored. Every week we shelf fillers cram many products into every nook and cranny of the shop. So we take curiosity about our world as a nice compliment. We have to do our very best to stay below the daily number of visitors to the Eiffel Tower, so just popping in to browse among all the beauty is unfortunately not possible. Would you like to come by to browse or look around, please let us know when you get in touch, as we like to take this into account in our daily schedule.

Hear this!

It’s just audio people. Determining taste is not a scientific discipline. For some it is of course a lot of fun and useful to read and know a lot, for others this is not what they are looking for and they think, come on, get that volume control! Whether you know a lot about audio or not, as far as we are concerned, this is independent of the feeling generated by listening to an audio set. So never hold back and speak up!

A bunch!

We are a group of audio freaks who enjoy chatting about audio, listening to audio, watching audio, feeling audio. Fortunately, we also find each other amusing, which makes attendance a party. The team includes a highly skilled engineer-product designer who handles equipment as if it were patients, a few listening enthusiasts who have heard a lot but mostly let the apprature do the talking…. Including a 2-star chef who left for a 5-star shop, an IT project manager who always has to connect so prefers to come to us to disrupt, a meticulous painter who approaches all tasks with that perspective in addition to his graphically sleek canvases, a safety expert who comes into the shop to blow off steam by dealing with deadly current and excessive decibels, and there’s another one who regulates all sorts of things. We also have a mechanical engineer who has opened more speakers than he has listened to since he was ten years old, a programmer-system developer who ensures that we as a team can function at lightning speed and without stress, a professional driver who left his 30-ton diesel to get on our audio bus, and of course the man in charge of the exceptionally orderly warehouse, who ‘may à be’.

Bale sucks!

Everyone knows it, coming home, connecting, feeling like it, but then the sweat breaks out of you, gusts, balking. It doesn’t sound good at all at home! Well, just let it be known anyway, audio should be fun above all, and we are very happy to work on that.

Almost there!

Once we get to this point it doesn’t take very long for the real fun to begin. Enjoying it from your own listening position! However, there is still a little checkout to be done. This can be done in several ways.

All out!

A shop full of beauty. Every week the contents of our shelves change. To make you drool! Beforehand, all products pose seductively in our photo studio, making online browsing a relaxing activity for countless enthusiasts worldwide. Follow us! You’d be crazy not to.

The coolest!

Our telephone accessibility sometimes sucks! And we are a little bit proud of that. We don’t like to answer the phone when we have visitors in the shop. In such cases you will soon receive a standard message, please send a reply back, we are usually pretty quick with answering, as with answering emails and other messages. Would you like to visit us, this can only be done by appointment, please send us a message.

Rather today!

Heavy and awkward? Ho ho, you can’t just say that! Less manageable and weighty, that sounds friendlier. We have a bus with a careful driver for the exceptional cases. We handle it with care, too, and assume delivery on the first floor. On a floor we are happy to think about but please indicate this in advance. Delivery is unfortunately not free of charge nor a certainty, it depends on distance and availability.

Tender packers!

Products are properly packaged and pampered for a while! We ship standard packages under 31 kilograms for free within the Netherlands and Belgium, and we charge partial shipping costs for other countries. Large speakers and heavy backbreakers are also no problem, but this works on a small or large pallet. Send us your zip code and we will quickly provide you with information about the costs.

Ghettoblaster

Eerst was er de draagbare radio, ook wel koffieradio maar toen het formaat en de kracht in de jaren 70 groeide werd het al snel Ghettoblaster. Die laatste benaming ontstond in de Amerikaanse achterstandswijken van New York, hier was het ding zeer belanrijk voor de groeiende de hiphop-cultuur. Lyrics, mixtapes, beatbox en breakdancing waren mogelijk op straat door bijvoorbeeld de JVC RC-838JW uit 1978. In de jaren 90 hadden ook wij een ghettoblaster, maar dan voorzien van housetapes. We werden gehaat om onze bonkende beats op straat maar genoten van zowel de muziek als de irritaties. Toen dit niet niet luid genoeg meer ging werden er serieuze spullen naar snelwegviaducten gesleept voor underground-housefeesten. De hiervoor gebruikte draaitafels en mengtafel staan nog steeds in onze bar. Heel soms gaan we even terug naar deze tijd en nodigen we de jeugd van weleer uit en gaat het los.

Ghettoblaster

First there was the portable radio, also known as coffee radio, but when the size and power grew in the 1970s it quickly became Ghettoblaster. The latter name originated in the American deprived neighborhoods of New York, where it was very important for the growing hip-hop culture. Lyrics, mixtapes, beatboxing and breakdancing were possible on the street, for example with the JVC RC-838JW from 1978. In the 90s we also had a ghetto blaster, but equipped with house tapes. We were hated for our pounding beats on the street but enjoyed both the music and the irritation. When this wasn’t loud enough anymore, serious gear was dragged onto highway overpasses for underground house parties. The turntables and mixing console used for this are still in our bar. Very occasionally we go back to this time and invite the youth of yesteryear and things get going.

CD

De Compact Disc (CD) kwam zoals de meeste uitvindingen niet uit de lucht vallen. Na de uitvinding van de laser in 1958 werd in 1961 het eerste octrooi voor optisch leesbare schijven ingediend. In 1972 werden de eerste digitale videoplaten geïntroduceerd. Na een flop van Philips kwam de fabrikant in 1979 samen met Sony met de eerste cd, wat erop stond weten wij niet maar in 1982 kwam de eerste cd voor de markt uit, het was het album Visitors van ABBA. In dit jaar kwam de eerste speler beschikbaar en zo begon de verdrijving van de lp uit de markt. Velen hebben hun lp’s letterlijk bij het vuil gezet… sommige bezoekers zien wij nog steeds balen als ze dit vertellen. Heb je cd’s, geniet er vooral nog eens van, ze hebben immers geen oneindige levensduur.
