I've just joined!
We are analogue specialists in South Bucks, also importing some interesting products from Soundsmith, Quicksilver, Galibier and Valvet. We are also authorised retailers of Dynavector, Flying Mole, Astin Trew and Hannl record cleaning machines.
Our "thing" is getting a hi fi to sound as close to real musicians as possible, not a Stereophile reviewer's idea of good electronics. The fun part is finding ways of achieving that at realistic prices.
I think the brands we offer out-perform the names you know well at the equivalent price points - mainly because they are companies that don't spend massively on advertising, instead relying on word of mouth recommendations and demonstrations.
We offer our own Artisan moving coil cartridges which are stunning value compared to the original manufacturer's equivalents (but that's a well-kept secret).
The motivation for setting up Artisan Audio was a dissatisfaction with how well my old turntable was set up and serviced and subsequent demonstrations when I was looking to replace. I was fortunate to be traveling to the US and Germany, where I discovered they are more rigorous than in the UK.
Cheers,
Ralph
