About Us

In three years we became the largest distributor of Gold Note in the world building up the USA market exponentially.  We had year over year growth of more than 100% concurrently. Unfortunately a new export direct who came from the world of plumbing, and not HiFi, had different ideas and sacked us earlier this year without any discussion. We were left with piles and piles of inventory that Gold Note did not want to buy back and the new distributor did not want to buy and now our loss is your gain.  You won’t find a better deal to be had on both new and factory refurbished inventory.  Get it while you can.
