Welcome to our website!
puresound manufactures and distributes its own range of valve (tube) electronics along with turntables and tonearms from STST in Germany. A further range of high end electronics from Japanese manufacturer Aurorasound includes state of the art phono stages. We also supply key spare parts for Heybrook & JPW Loudspeakers, and offer a bespoke valve amplifier design and manufacturing service

The P10 was one of a group test of phono stages priced up to 2000 GBP in the subscrtiption only magazine HiFi Critic. It emerged as the clear winner and was awarded their coveted 'recommended component' status.

It's that time of year. The magazines are handing out their awards and puresound has so far received a couple of accolades. The L300 was awarded with Highly Commended status by HiFi Plus while the A10 ran a Denon amplifier (with far more in the way of facilities) very close in the sub 1000 amplifier category over at HiFi Choice.

In a detailed and effusive review in Issue 73 of HiFi Plus, Roy Gregory wholeheartedly endorsed the L300 pre-amplifier. "I have no hesitation in elevating the L300 to the most select list in HiFi - the list of musically great line-stages... Listen and enjoy. It's hard not to!"

The A30 fares very well in a group test of valve amplifiers featured in the June 2009 issue of HiFi News. These amplifiers were from a very broad price range and as one of the least expensive designs the A30 was felt to offer very good value. It was one of two of these amplifiers to earn a 'Highly Commended' rating. "..it had that tremendous presence through the midband that, unlike the other amps, brought the orchestra right into the room."

The A30 received another favourable (if peculiar) review, this time in the June 2009 issue of HiFi World. The reviewer mistakenly spends rather too long on the issue of amplifiers designed around KT88's (which the A30 deliberately does not use!) but his subjective experience of the amplifier is very positive. "..the A30 is an amplifier of enormous sophistication. It sets up a wonderfully rich picture of a performance that is full of lively fine detail free from any form of edginess, yet fluid in its progression and both easy and natural to the ear."

The A30 is featured as one of three valve amplifiers in Issue 6 of the subscription magazine Hi-Fi Critic. Given the antipathy of the reviewer to valve amplifiers in general, it fares quite well and is recommended. The technical measurements are also encouraging.

The A30 amplifier received a very positive test review in the October 2007 edition of HiFi Choice Magazine. "Sensational sound quality the like of which you'll struggle to find at anything like this price elsewhere."

The A30 was the subject of a review in the September 2007 issue of the German AUDIO magazine. "The Paganini Variations by Boris Blacher however showed the A30 as a master of its subject; beginning in an inconspicuous manner, then revealing layer upon layer of the most exquisite, sublimely intense tonal colours."

The A30 also featured in a group test of similarly priced amplifiers in Issue 52 (July 2007) of HiFi + "There were times when the puresound performed so incredibly well that I completely forgot I was listening to an amplifier that costs a little over 1000."
