Even sixteenth century luthiers could not concur unanimously on a one-size-fits-all crafted instrument which would be used as the singular reference standard throughout the middle ages.
Adaptation, coupled with the evolution of materials and employed design, gave way to a broad selection of achievements in craftmanship, each with its own particular sonic attributes and musical character.
Although the core fundamentals behind designing the perfect musical reproduction device has not changed much, it has long become the endless search of every audiophile and music lover.
We do not sell audio components that will instantly teleport you to a balcony cathedral seat of the original venue fare, that would be misleading. What we are able to do is direct you to a shortlist of components that offer, what we feel, to be the very best portrayal of the diverse range of sonic integrities available based on the listeners preference...Yours !

Abbingdon Music Research AM-77
Solid-state amplification has taken the listener to ever more power and ever higher specification levels. This has led to many a solid-state amplifier sounding increasingly unnatural and bleached.
The AM-77 Dual Mono Amplifier seeks to redress this: through a fusion of valve and solid-state, it is the only high-powered amplifier in the world that "Sounds like an exceptional Single-Ended Triode(SET) valve amplifier."
With a pure 180W per channel, the AM-77 uncannily boasts pure power with the ability to drive even the most difficult of loudspeakers with speed, rhythm and most important of all, life; each voice, instrument and performance sounding just like the real thing.
At the heart is a no compromise combination of zero negative feedback, pure Class A valve stages in the pre-amplification section coupled in the
power amplification section, with bipolar output devices in AMR’s proprietary “Class X: Jikoda” circuit.
The AM-77 is one of the very few amplifiers able to move the listener with a stirring and touching musical performance reminiscent of an exceptional SET valve amplifier does.

Abbingdon Music Research CD-77
Over the past decade, digital playback has veered off on a tangent, to sound ever more detailed and uninvolving. Hence AMR's CD-77 Compact Disk Processor had one aim and one aim only:
"To bring compact disk playback back en par with the vinyl system."
That is, to put the life, emotion and enjoyment back into listening to compact disks. With this in mind, the CD-77 was developed to sound real, dynamic and most important of all, involving for the listener.
The core DAC is the classic "King of the Multibit" – Philips TDA1541A chipset. This chipset forms the heart of an extremely unique “Digital Engine” that is comprised of the latest Lattic’s CPLD and TI’s DSP devices. Through the proprietary Digital Master I/Digital Master II settings, the CD-77 is one of the select few digital components that is able to play "bit perfect" audio. This means music, not hifi is the result as the sound is just right because there is no artificial manipulation of the signal (so often found in almost all other machines).
Combined with the revolutionary “Gomez” analogue stage using pure New Old Stock valves throughout and a total of 5 dedicated audio specified transformers, the CD-77 brings the performance of CD back in-line with the very best vinyl has to offer.
