Welcome to Audio T Reading

After first opening In the centre of Reading in 1974 as Reading Cassette & Hi-Fi and joining the Audio T in 1996, we closed the doors of our original store after 27 years of successful trading. This farewell marked an exciting new chapter for us. We have opened a fresh, new destination store. We are thrilled to present a space that embodies our commitment to the latest technology and an outstanding audio experience. We are confident that our new location will become a haven for all audio enthusiasts, not to mention we have loads of free parking outside our door. We aim to enable customers to realise the greatest performance from their investment through our deep understanding of the products we carry.

We have an enviable reputation in turntable set-up and service especially, but not exclusively, of Linn LP12s, Audio Note and Rega turntables along with a range of cartridges to complement them. Our strength lies in ‘system building’. We aim to enable our customers to realise the greatest performance from their investment through our deep understanding of the products we carry, building quality systems at all cost levels.
