The parent company, MELODY VALVE HIFI PTY Ltd. is based in Melbourne, Australia. It was founded by a seasoned engineer who is also a keen audiophile.... the aim is to combine traditional valve technology with the latest research, parts and knowledge. We use a selection of rare and special parts, such as the Aerovox oil filled capacitor, widely admired since the Second World War.

The result is a special combination of history and high technology, bringing a truly sublime quality of sound. We use this technology, and ruthless selection of parts, in, for example, our range of preamplifiers, regardless of price.

That work has been recognised by a variety of international awards, including the description of one of our preamplifiers as one of the best three such units in the world. High praise but honestly earned. We also use cable of exceptional quality, hard-wired for the best results and long-term reliability.... something the best traditional makers of valve amps always knew. In the same way we go to great lengths to specify and build our own world beating transformers, another of the secrets of making a truly great valve amplifier. Over the years our founder, keener than ever, has surrounded himself with fellow engineers who love music.

Together they work hard to constantly improve our products, while never forgetting the lessons of the past. Our guiding philosophy, after Einstein, is 'make it as simple as possible..but no simpler.'
