Audiophile Amplifiers and Power Supplies

Audiophile Amplifiers, by Design

True audiophile amplifiers need exceptional power supplies in order give their best performance. The same is true for audiophile DACs, music servers, turntables and phono stages.

Traditional British Audio at its best, we design some of the most respected and loved audiophile amplifiers and linear power supplies available. Hand built in England.

We are a small British company of specialist audiophile engineers based in Chesterfield, England.

Our strong reputation is based on exceptional performance, build quality, reliability, and affordability.

Established in the late 1970s, Avondale quickly established a unique reputation for superb, audiophile sound quality.

New customers are always delighted at the levels of the improvement in clarity, control, detail and energy in their music.

However, "Bringing music to life" in a natural, sonically and emotionally realistic, way is perhaps the characteristic most loved by our customers and their families.

For decades, we have focused our efforts exclusively on how to create and improve innovative audiophile designs and construction methods, in order to build what we and our customers believe are 'the most affordable, serious audiophile amplifiers that you can get for your money'.

"Hi Les,

Amps now installed warmed up and run for a while, outstanding."

"After reading reviews on the improvements that could be made to my elderly but excellent Naim NAP 135 power amps by Avondale Audio I decided to take the plunge and send them off for Option 2 upgrades . I received them back after four weeks on March 28th. I duly re-installed them and patiently gave them and the system 2 days of warming up.

My system is CDX 2 converted, XPS, DAC, XPS, NAC 282, Supercap and Ruark Equinox. This system sounded good before but I can only compare what happened on Saturday night was like previously listening to music from another room then suddenly opening the door.

This upgrade has transformed this system, the depth, clarity and improvement throughout the tonal range is staggering. The music now grabs you whether Rock, Jazz or Classical. The Ruark’s had a need for improvement at the bottom end, not any more, now I know how good these speakers can sound, Thank you Avondale for what will be many more years of pleasure without huge expense thanks to Les and all. Please feel free to post on web site."

Kind Regards

"These amps have real muscle with a tight, punchy and detailed bass. Suddenly bass solos, so often heard on jazz recordings, begin to make sense. The midband is simply divine. These amps seem to pull the voices/lead instrument to the fore with a clarity that can leave you breathless. The top end is wonderfully detailed allowing you to hear things that previously went unnoticed."

"The GRAD1 preamplifier from Avondale Audio is probably the best value for money high end component available today."

".... the Voyagers are really superb. You know I've had Solos, BATs etc, all of which are mega bucks in comparison .... your amps are not only excellent, they are a bargain."

"Avondale est un magicien pour les Naim...j'ai fait refaire mon 42,5-110 l'an dernier et c'est miraculeux ajouté à une alimentation Avondale, j'ai redécouvert mes vinyles!!!!"

" I really like the way it gives you the whole picture, the GRAD1 preamp is better than the NAC82 in every respect and is certainly a true audio bargain..."

"After turning on my system for the first time from Avondale, I felt embraced by the sound that was produced. Not only realistic, but musical as well. I am now hearing things that I only thought could be achieved by going to a live concert. To add to the credentials of Avondale, the service was impeccable and the customer service was fantastic not only from Les, the mastermind behind it all, but the other staff as well. I will be sure to suggest Avondale to many people and continue to do so if people are looking for a high quality system. May I also take this opportunity to thank ALL at Avondale and I look forward to what ever else is on the horizon from them."

Call us if you wish to discuss your specific requirements.

Most of our own amplifiers, power supplies and DIY modules are built to order, a process that takes time, so if you need a faster service or one which provides you with "off the shelf" mass produced items, we respectfully recommend you consult your favourite audio dealer.

We display only a small sample of the many unsolicited testimonials that we receive on this website.

"What an amazing preamp. Hairs on the back of your neck and tears in your eyes at times."

"Utterly astonished at the sonic detail, sense of space, exquisitely subtle timbres of the instruments."

"the M130s are AWESOME."

"To say that I’m stunned would be an understatement."

"Your amplification & power supplies are mind blowingly good!"

"The GRAD1 .... plays the bits in between the bits."

"I listened to many very expensive and exotic systems in the hi-fi shops but none of them came close to my Avondale-Naim system in terms of musical performance."
