Representing Brands

Which Dealer?

This question may cost you nothing or a few hundred bucks or up to tens of thousands of dollars. Unless you are only concern about getting the lowest price and nothing about after sales support, otherwise this is an important question in your purchase decision. We would rank it even higher than product brand and price.

Are you impressed with the sound of your dealer’s showroom? Did they get it right at their place before talking about coming to my place?

Is your dealer equipped to help you when you have a technical problem e.g. turntable calibration or cartridge alignment?

Is your dealer only interested in pushing you the latest brands or models and knows nothing else e.g. music?We know of audiophiles who have purchased pricey turntables but couldn’t even get the basics right (suffering from IGD). We know of audiophiles who have spent and spent but still not able to enjoy the music. What a pity.

We pride ourselves in helping you (our customers) achieve the best performance in your system - even modest ones. We have garnered decades of experience in this hobby especially in analog; paid our dues so you do not have to pay yours.

We believe choosing the right dealer is your first step to enjoying this hobby - period. The choice is yours to make.

Unlearning Rules of Hi-Fi  

The built, look and classy finishing of the Ocellia Quaero Signature 300B based 7-Watt stereo amplifier is nothing short of spectacular.

Spotting 4 white steel boxes over-sized transformers that are coiled by Ocellia themselves (reason: 3rd parties couldn’t meet its stringent requirement), this 50kg amplifier (amongst many other key features), speaks volume on its superlative performance in Modular Audio’s showroom.

The Ocellia range of electronics will change your perspective of hi-end hi-fi like it did ours. In terms needing power hungry system to play high power music and in terms of “limitations” of full range speakers due to the flea wattage amps.

So wait no more and do yourself some justice in unlearn and relearning the rules of hi-fi. Come to our showroom today to audition the Ocellia based system.
 

Are You Experienced?

Rewriting the hi-fi rule book where mega watts amplifiers are required to drive power hungry speaker, we present to you Ocellia loudspeakers from France.

Full-range, high sensitivity, easy to play yet handsome!

You want speed? Check.

You want dynamics? Check.

You want volume and scale to handle the difficult passages? Check

You want a delicate midrange, refinement and ease to drive? Triple check

You want high-end sound without paying for unreal prices? You got it

The Ocellia brand of loudspeakers have been a revelation to many who has heard it. It is amazing and nothing short of an experience.

Best driven by pure, ultra-low distortion tube power amplifiers, the sound of Ocellia loudspeakers will astound you.

Come to our showroom to Experience.

Which Record Cleaner?

Record cleaning is one of the few must-do, unavoidable chores of playing LP and nobody enjoys doing it.

But without your LPs cleaned (even new ones), you will enjoy less music, you will hear more noise, at times distortion, your cartridge will have a shorter life. You are better off playing CD.

Knowing all record cleaning machines (rcm) are not created equal, it is important that you invest in the right rcm because your spend of 2 to 4 minutes cleaning each LP shall be the same regardless of the machines you use. But your result would vary if a less than effective rcm is used.

In our opinion, your choice record cleaner should have these key features:

(1) Clockwise and anti-clockwise rotating platter for thorough reach

(2) Avoidance of static electricity or ability to discharge it

(3) A powerful vacuum pick-up to completely pick up all the dissolved dirt and dry the LP
 

The Clearaudio Matrix record cleaner (from Germany) gets our vote for passing these tests with flying colours. For further details, call or visit us for a discussion
