Relaxed purchase journey

Hi my listening demo and purchase journey was relaxed and the team helped me with choosing right speakers for my taste by going A/B testing for multiple speakers. Really like my speakers and looking for forward to upgrading when needed. I will go back to the audio tailor again. Check out their listening room, I felt like a kid in a toy store.

The clarity that the new stylus produces is phantastic. It's like having the orchestra in ones living room. Even older LPs reveal a lot of details.

This has really elevated my listening experience as the playback is flawless every time. The integration through the app though is where this streamer excels. The app is lightning fast. The sound can be a tad bright with certain types of music however with the countless amount of EQ settings that can be adjusted and saved (differently) for each and every input provides the ability to get my right sound each and every time. paired with the Advance Paris A10 amplifier its perfect!
