MD Renaissance Audio
My music tastes range from Reggae to Rock, Jazz to Blues. They encapsulate my teens and my travels, and come alive through my choices in the world of audio.
Looking back at 2024 and forward at 2025…
2024 was a great year, with all four of our brands launching new products, enjoying great reviews and picking up multiple awards. Some of our highlights have included the following:
The launch of the incredible new Leif 3 Cable range by Nordost. A truly high-end offering at very reasonable price points.
The completion of the North Collection for MOON with the arrival of the Reference 891 Streaming Pre-amplifier and Dual Mono 861 Power Amplifier.
The launch of the stunning Audiovector Trapeze Ri loudspeaker and seeing it win the Best Hi-Fi Product 2025 award from hi-fi+ magazine made it even more special.
And a few weeks ago we received the pre-production version of the first all new turntable from VPI since 2022, the amazing Model One.
As for 2025, all we can say for now is that it is set to be a very exciting year!
“Audiovector is a wonderful, small, and very special company that creates beautiful handcrafted loudspeakers. Their attention to detail is second to none. Every speaker is designed, developed and produced in-house to exceptional standards. And it really shows in the end product!”

“It's always a pleasure to catch up with Costa Koulisakis at the High-End Munich show. The team at MOON is truly passionate and that's how great products are created - the North Collection is a testament to their dedication and hard work. Their products will transform your listening experience.”
