Top Quality Audio Solutions in New Zealand

The trusty NAD turntable I bought in 1982, recently lost its trustworthy status so last week I bought a new turntable from Graham who not only impressed with his knowledge but turned out to be an affable man with a sense of humour; this I like.

I had a minor and embarrassing problem getting the turntable hooked up at home (don't ask) so phoned Eastern HiFi and this time spoke to Jason who was polite and helpful; problem solved.

Many thanks to both Graham and Jason.

Hi Graham, She's a big unit! The difference between the systems is like winter and summer. The clarity and pureness of the music .. yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, just makes you grin. Even on low low volume it doesn't lose any definition. I'm hanging for the weekend so I can see what it's capable of on high volume. The CD, amp combo bring out the full potential of my speakers, they dance. .. and I haven't even connected the slinky links yet. I have to make a rack because the Slinkylinks won't reach …

Hi Graham, Just letting you know I found the sound from the little amp was AWESOME. It turned up on my doorstep at 7.30 the next morning, and I had it going by about 7.32!!! Tighter bass and much more detailed high end than both the Denon and Onkyo amps I had used. It was a real pleasure to talk to you on the phone and get some good honest advice. (and a good chat too.) Can you let me know if you have any second hand, or reasonably cheap tuners, as I will never use Trade Me again after the great deal and service from you, so will have to bug you when I need something.

Hi Graham,

The T/9x is mostly broken in now.  100% happy with the upgrade.

It's interesting how the sub "opens up" as it breaks in.  After going from the T/7x and ending it while broken in, it was a stark contrast when first turning on the new T/9x.

It goes from not timing particularly well with the main speakers, sounding a bit stifled with not the extension you're expecting to blending and matching the main speakers seamlessly with awesomely controlled extension.

Very impressed how musical it is - you really can't "hear" it being separate from the mains.

It's one of those products that actually lives up to the marketing and all the reviews I've seen online.  It's often the same story with the reviews, been into HI-FI for decades, tried subs on and off and always ended up going without because they never matched the main speakers until they tried the Rel T series.

Thanks for the fantastic service - it's been a great experience.

Cheers,

Chris

Me, Dean do you like the new Rega?
His words...
No, it's not nice, it is absolutley outstanding! I couldn't be happier. This is one fine piece of British made Hi Fi. And thankyou for the great deal. The Brio (existing amp) drove the Wharfdale Lintons nicely and they sounded great, but the Elex R is a whole different level of quality. I really am quite blown away.

I never thought my next piece of HT kit would come out of Whakatane, but a great deal knows no boundaries. Cheers.

I bought my first set of components from Graham at the Hifi Source back in Whakatane when I was 19 years old – 31 years ago. Thinking about it now I realise that I have bought most of my gear from Graham. Time flies and much has changed but one thing is still the same, Graham sells great products and always gives solid advice and I have come to trust his opinion. No matter your budget you will leave the store with something that is going to enhance your music and your life. My most recent purchase was for some bookshelf speakers for my shed and I am really enjoying my Monitor Audio Bronze speakers. Cheers mate!

I enjoy making incremental gains within a system, changing one piece at a time and absorbing each new item in its own time. And so my old Sennheiser extension cable gave way to the Slinkylinks (custom made/hand made headphone) cable ... The clarity of the music was apparent. Not too bright, not too sharp, just crystal clear. It is a mark of the cable's quality that it gets out of the way of the music, not imposing a distorted character to it. The cable looks fantastic. So good in fact it …

Graham, Thanks for your excellent service and advise. I am really enjoying my new Marantz system. It's sounds amazing!
