Tim de Paravicini and EAR
EAR (ē/ā/ɑːr) makes amplifiers, preamplifiers, speakers, and turntables as legendary as its founder, engineer and designer Tim de Paravicini.
Tim de Paravicini/EAR’s designs captured Waterlily’s award-winning “A Meeting By the River” performances to become the record it is. His work is present in Pink Floyd’s SACD remasterings.
The same legendary audio engineering technology that has made history in studios is available for the home.
Townshend Audio
The ear of a music lover, the mind of an engineer.
For 50 years, Townshend Audio’s engineers have applied their expertise, skill, and common sense to find the best solution for every pesky problem in the audio replay chain. Why? Because they love music. They want to build the hi-fi system of their dreams. The results of their long efforts can help you build the hi-fi system of your dreams.
Any one of Townshend Audio’s multi award-winning components will enhance the performance of any hi-fi system. Together, the improvements can be exponential.
Helius Designs
Tonearms and turntables engineered to sound as beautiful as they look.
Helius Designs has been giving tonearms the technological love and attention they deserve for over 30 years. That kind of time, attention and know-how is what makes the Helius Designs Omega and Omega Silver Ruby tonearms possible.
Chief Engineer, Geoffrey Owen now carries his audio engineering skills and creativity to that body on which tonearms live—the turntable. Just as Helius Designs tonearms break conventions to achieve better results, the Helius Designs Alexia Turntable brings new technology to the turntable and solves old ’table problems in unique ways.
