  I bought an Audion Silver Night Special Edition integrated amp and right out of the box it sounded better than my previous tube amp. I decided to have Gary’s tech upgrade it with Vcaps and the sound got even better. The music flows effortlessly through this amp. The 8 Watts is extremely conservative. If I turn the volume just past 9 o’clock, I can’t hear my wife talking to me while she’s less than 10 feet away from me. I usually listen with the volume between 8 and 9 and the dynamics are more than enough in my 16’x18’ room. Gary is a very attentive and knowledgeable guy as well. He always gets back to me very quickly and really knows his gear very well. I trust Gary’s suggestions as he has definitely steared me on the right path to musical bliss! Rick from Michigan

  You only need to speak to Gary one time to know he's the real deal when it comes to hi end audio. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable he's the consummate customer advocate. There is no one better to work with when you're serious about audio then Gary Alpern.

  As a HUGE music lover that made the decision to jump into the deep end of building (from scratch) a true audiophile vinyl playback experience, I had NO idea where to start. After countless hours of research and due diligence, I found Gary @ True Audiophile. I wasn't thrilled about this level of spending with a company that is located across the country and I never met (in person), however after connecting with Gary all my concerns were put at ease. He is wickedly knowledgeable, designed a solution that balanced all the building blocks and my budget for the optimum experience, helped me setup and 'dial in' the perfect music lover experience that continues to expand. He did all this while providing an unprecedented level of customer service and support. My music room has quickly become a friend and family hit and is where we spend a majority of our time when folks visit the house. I will not go anywhere else for ANY of my audiophile needs. Gary rocks!

  I was looking to buy a turntable and found these guys. WoW! I had no idea how complex it could be. They helped me through everything and find the exact right table for me AND cartridge. They were amazing to work with. Will definitely buy all my audio stuff from them!
