Founded in 1972 by Ivor Tiefenbrun, Linn has always been something of a maverick in the industry.  Linn's first product, the Sondek LP12 transcription turntable revolutionized an industry as did Ivor's famous treatise "Hi-Fi Hierarchy".  25 years later the LP12 is still the turntable by which all others are judged and Linn has developed a full line of reference quality home entertainment products including home theater and multi-room music systems.  Absolute Audio is proud to be Charlotte's exclusive dealer for Linn Products.

"musically superior components at down to earth prices"

Founded  by John Dawson while studying at Cambridge, England in the 70's, Arcam has always been known for building solidly engineered products at a sensible price.   In the 80' when Japanese products were threatening to become ubiquitious even in Europe, Arcam's decision to manufacture at home in Cambridge may have helped them become Britian's number one supplier of CD players, power amplifiers and integrated amplifiers.  Today, through the efforts of Audiophile Systems, a nationwide distributor of high-end electronics, Arcam is gaining recognition in the US market as well.  Stylish, sophisticated and oh-so-good sounding, buying Arcam is an easy choice for anyone with distinctive taste and a passion for performance.

"world renowned performance, value and simplicity"

The NAD heritage is built on nearly thirty years of audio experience. Designed and engineered in the UK, NAD continues to produce cost effective products with a functional look that aims to impress the ear rather than pamper the eye.  Long known as the intelligent alternative in sensible, high-performance audio, NAD has applied their “music first” philosophy to the design and manufacture of the latest generation Theater Series components as well.  Proving once again that it's what's on the inside that matters, most people who purchase NAD over the mass market alternatives come back and tell us it was the best decision they ever made.
