Our interview with the brand

What are two key technological innovations or strong opinions that differ you from other brands?

I wouldn't break it down to two key technologies, but rather to a general philosophy. With every product, we strive to optimize it for its intended use and omit unnecessary and redundant specifications. This makes the products cheaper, saves us licensing costs, and makes them less prone to errors. Take our AVX17 preamplifier as an example, which has no network, no streaming, no radio, and no DSP simulations. These are all features that are already present in another device or are never used. In return, you get good sound and picture and parametric EQs per channel, so that every customer can adjust the device to best suit themselves and their room. And the preamplifier costs "only" 1799€ and not several thousand euros.

What's your approach to customer support?

We try to provide support in the same way that we would expect from other companies. (When we shop as a private individual.) Always try to answer every email as quickly as possible (usually max 24 hours) on a business day. We are also always easy to reach by phone, and if not, we always try to call you back as quickly as possible.

First, contact the dealer/distributor. If the dealer can't help directly, we'll help either through the dealer or by contacting the customer directly.

From what we've heard from many customers, we're different to others in that we try to offer very quick and straightforward solutions.  Even if the warranty has expired, anyone can contact us, and we've always found a customer-oriented solution.

We also have an official IOTAVX playlist on Qobuz.

What other products pair best with yours?

Generally, our products can be paired with virtually any product thanks to their neutral/natural sound. We use speakers from AperionAudio (US) and BuchardtAudio (Denmark) at trade fairs and for demonstrations in our showroom.

About the brand

Quad Hifi is renowned for its legendary electrostatic loudspeakers, first introduced with the ESL-57 in 1957, which are celebrated by audiophiles for their exceptional clarity and detail. The brand's groundbreaking 33 preamplifier and 303 power amplifier from the 1960s were among the first to successfully use solid-state technology with a unique "tilt" tone control that adjusts frequency response around a central point, rather than conventional bass and treble adjustments.

About the brand

Parasound amplifiers are a favorite among hi-fi dealers because they offer a ton of power and performance without hitting crazy price levels. Designed by John Curl, their hifi and home theater amps are known for clean, neutral sound and an ability to power just about any system with ease. Sure, you can find better amps, but they come with serious diminishing returns. For a lot of people, Parasound hits that sweet spot where you feel like you’ve reached the endgame without spending a fortune.
