Audio
True top - end music reproduction in the home will always involve lots of boxes, wires, shelves and, usually, valves.
I believe that the care & attention that goes into the design & build of audio equipment should be complimented with the same consideration to it's appearance & function in the domestic room - that part of the listening experience is the feel & look of quality in a luxury setting.
So, we can go from this.........
Sounds amazing!!! (Only 300V exposed)
............to Polished Bubinga & Copper - black;
Radka - Mund single end bespoke system, handmade throughout
Rear wall damping panels assist open baffle.
Looks & feels amazing too!! (Just needs some exotic wood instead of those black amp fronts) ♥
I have been involved in development of top quality audio components, furniture & installations for myself and others, professional & amateur.
The goal is the best musical experience possible. Here are some collaborations with like - minded associates;

Walton Music Server
A good p.c. based music library playing uncompressed digital files, coupled with the Veracity Chrysalis & Aztec, surpasses any CD transport playback I have heard. Vinyl doesn't come close.
This is the musical experience that everyone dreams of, but rarely comes within reach - at any price.
Ends the Vinyl / Digital debate for anyone prepared to listen.
Solid aluminium case, silent heat pipe cooling, Samsung 850 ssd hard drive, 6 tb storage (10 000 +++ Albums in flac files).
USB streams directly to dac.
Gregor Szymczyk seems to be one of the very few electronic designer / engineers who really listens to his results.
The Chrysalis /Aztec combination fully immerses the listener in the musical event.
For Veracity customers I have met, this is 'The end of the journey' in seeking true enjoyment from their music.
Each set of Veracity devices is unique to it's owner; I offer handmade custom options in wood, copper, bronze, etc. to visually compliment the quality of the sound.
Veracity Chrysalis DAC with custom options; Cuban Mahogany front & matching remote, Copper valve plate.
Veracity Chrysalis DAC with custom options; Bubinga front & matching remote.
