Meet the team

 


David - joined Audio T in 1999
With over 30 years experience in the hi-fi industry in both retail and distribution, David is more from the old school of hi-fi with a passion for 2 channel stereo systems and is never happier than when setting up a turntable! Though streaming has also been embraced especially Hi Res & Tidal
Current System: Linn Turntable, Naim Streamer & Naim amplification
Favourite Music: ranges from Electro to Folk
Weirdest Gig: Zodiac Mind Warp and the Love Reaction at the Boardwalk Manchester, Too many good gigs to remember! Bonus of living in a city with lots of music venues.


Munir - joined Audio T in 2002
First job: straight out of college in 1988, Munir started working for Microvitec Plc. This involved using video pattern generators and light meters to video calibrate very expensive monitors for the Reuters news agency. A precursor to todays ISF video standards used for projectors, plasmas etc, in fact, setting the greyscales and colours "by eye only" was a challenge I enjoyed getting involved in.
Top Bands / Artists: (at the moment) John Coltrane, Bonobo, M83 and Matthew Halsall & the Gondawana orchestra.
Top Films: Rashoman by Akira Kurosawa(still at the top), The Revenant and Lord Of the Rings trilogy.
Favourite demonstration music (and why):
I have more than one really but at the moment Beck’s "The Information” is a stand out.
Tracks on my current playlist: Pakard by Plastikman from the Artifakts album. This track just simmers gently in the background, love it.
Dancing in Outerspace by Atmospere (masters at work mix)
Black Sands by Bonobo
The Message by Cymande
Dreamsters by Tipper
Favourite demonstration movies (and why):
The storm scene from Prometheus as the crew try to get back to the ship - Great movie too.
The motorbike scene in Skyfall culminating in "Bond atop the train" just as the titles start & The Dolby Atmos demo Blu-ray. Both scenes show you exactly what a correctly set up home cinema should sound like.


Name - Mike
Experience - Joined Audio T in August 2012 and has now worked in Hi-Fi retail for well over 10 years, covering all roles from Manager to Sales Assistant.
Interests - Hi-Fi (Obvs), live music, playing guitar and tinkering with computers.

Worst Gig - Descendents cancelling their show, as I checked into the hotel I was staying in, having travelled down to London.
Current System -  Linn front end, both turntable and streaming pre-amp into active Dynaudio speakers. Turntable has parts from various manufacturers including, Dynavector, Sumiko, Graham Slee and Heed. Vinyl care products almost exclusively from Tonar. Home built Ubuntu Server with Minimserver for storing digital music.

 

James - joined Audio-T in 2019 after studying music at university.

Current System - RME Fireface UCX, DynAudio LYD-8’s.

What our customers say

    Paul B - 22nd February 2021

    Hudson S - 15th February 2021

    David Fregene - 14th February 2021
  • The service received was excellent. Covid had made shop visits impossible so a number of phone calls were made and, after talking over my options a Rega Planar 6 was purchased - the set up was made easier by the shop completing the tracking etc. The sound quality when paired with my Cyrus One HD Amp and Dali speakers is, at least to my ears, exceptional. Highly recommend this product and retailer.

    Mr Stewart, Manchester - 29th June 2019
  • The guys at Audio T Manchester were great when I recently bought a turntable. They advised me on how to get the best out of my budget (the Rega 3 with fono mm), set up a listening and gave good advice on care and maintenance. Recommended.
    Mr Wharton, Manchester - 14th June 2019
  • Great service re loudspeaker purchase. A couple of unhurried and relaxed listening sessions narrowed the field and the loan of the chosen pair for home demo was invaluable to ensure the sought after sound balance was delivered on the end of my own system. Installation was carried out with the assistance of a KEF representative which was an unexpected, added bonus. This was for an expensive pair of speakers but irrespective of your budget the staff are keen for the customer to get the result they’re looking for in a purchase and will guide you appropriately.
    Mr Fowles, Sale - 2nd June 2019
  • Great service from Mike at the Manchester branch from start to finish. Very knowledgeable & helpful during selection and demo. Went way above what I expected in getting my system up and running. I'd happily recommend them to anyone (and already have).

    Mr Kennaugh, Manchester - 10th March 2019

    Mr Glennie, Oldham - 2nd September 2018
  • Service/upgrade on my old Rega planar turntable. Newark wiring and Rega Elys cartridge. New 24 volt motor. I am thrilled with the result. I have always loved this turntable but but it is now a different beast. I had taken my turntable to the Audio T Manchester store having previously asked for their advice on the telephone. The above work was recommended. The work was completed on time, on price and I am most pleased with the excellent results. I have dealt with Audio T several times. I cannot recommend them to highly
    Mr Farrington, Bacup - 17th July 2018
  • Swift and helpful. I went in knowing what I wanted, they agreed and didn’t pressure or belittle me to buy something more expensive or what they had in stock. Ordered there and then and delivered for free rapidly from the manufacturer. Can’t fault the service and would definitely use them again
    Mr Whittaker, Hebden Bridge - 30th June 2018
  • Great service and unhurried attitude which allowed me to listen to a range of amps and speakers. As a novice to vinyl this was good and allowed me to appreciate what I was buying. The staff were all generous with advice and information making my final decision easier and more informed.
    Mr Lockhart, Stockport - 28th May 2018
  • Excellent service. I spent a long time in the listening room auditioning. That meant I felt confident that the purchase was right for me. Very attentive staff on hand when needed.
