Audiolab

In 1980s the Audiolab 8300A integrated amplifier took the world by storm and soon became the entry level amplifier of choice for many. Audiolab was founded in 1983 by Philip Swift and Derek Scotland who's evolutionary approach to design, led to a small but instantly recognisable range of products including CD players and Pre and power amplifiers all at an affordable price. In 1997 the company changed names and became know as TAG McLaren Audio who also produced some well respected 'high end' electronics.

In 2004 the IAG group acquired the company and switched back to its original name Audiolab, with a view to bring back to life the 8000 series.

It was in 2010 the 8200 series was announced. going back to the original ethos of simple, well-constructed products with a transparent sound and great performance. This was followed by the 6000 series which won a multitude of awards and is again one of the best entry level range availably taking the company back to where it started way back in 1983.

World famous Doug Brady Hi-Fi was born in Liverpool in the late 1950’s at the same time as turntables, vinyl and The Beatles. This cultural revolution with Liverpool at the centre, heralded the very first ‘Brady’ shop W.A.Brady & Son in the city's Smithdown Road.

Opened in 1960 W.A.Brady & Son was the start of something amazing and as word got around, turntable sales rocketed. Success soon followed with a flag ship store launched in Covent Garden London.

Doug Brady had a passion for all things music and was instrumental in establishing some of the UK’s finest ‘High Fidelity’ audio electronic and turntable brands such as Naim, Rega and Chord Electronics.

In the early 1980’s the business moved to a more central location half way between Manchester and Liverpool at Kingsway North, Warrington, Cheshire and that’s where we are based to this day.

Our core principle is to provide each individual customer with the very best sound and vision experience in their home regardless of whether their budget is £1,000 or £100,000 though an informed and unbiased opinion.
