HiFi System Components

On the design side is Graham Slee who has a strong reputation in delivering wonderful sounding electronic circuitry time after time. He has worked professionally in electronic design since 1982, and before that making audio equipment as DJ/disco engineer and keen amateur. Our products must be capable of reproducing all kinds of music so it communicates properly with the listener. It's called professionalism. The musicians put on a show for you when they record, and our products should recreate that show for you perfectly, otherwise it's just noise. In 1998 he established the forerunner to HiFi System Components, Graham Slee Projects, known to many as GSP-Audio. His first products were vinyl-focused and were launched the following year, and very quickly earned him his reputation in excellent sounding hi-fi. These early products have been further refined (and most still available!) and newer designs added to the line up. Each design has brought a further enhancement to the sound, or as Graham prefers to say "makes it sound more natural or true to life". He has much to say about the differences between high fidelity and hi-fi: terms which are often used interchangeably as they are in our company name. Graham makes the distinction that hi-fi took a different path and is all out to impress and make music sound different to what the musicians intended, a sort of anything goes extravaganza; whilst true high fidelity reproduces music as music really sounds. He insists that high fidelity taken to his extremes, properly reproduces music in a way the vast majority of people would prefer, if only they were able to hear it. With help from his able supporters on his audio forum he established a loaner program to enable people to do just that. His difference of opinion with the hi-fi industry came about after working four years in professional broadcast audio design, and then for less than two years as a freelance R&D engineer with a hi-fi manufacturer, by which time he'd had enough. The broadcast audio signals (then all analogue) had to sound good after being routed through literally miles of cables, jack-fields, radio transmission modulation and then the users radio receiver or tuner. In his opinion hi-fi isn't superior and would sound awful if it had to negotiate such a signal path. In Graham's opinion, broadcast audio techniques developed by him to sound even better, soundly thrash those used in hi-fi. True high fidelity is eminently more listenable than much which passes off as hi-fi. His growing following agree. First and foremost they use their hearing to judge, and there are now somewhere between 20,000 and 40,000 customers, based on the number of products sold since 1999, approximately 50,000 items.
