Some words from Ed:

The West Coast Hub for High-End Audio Innovation

Big things are happening this summer at The Audio Association! We’re proud to be the only West Coast dealer offering in-room demonstrations of both the Diptyque Audio Reference planar loudspeakers and the Grimm Audio LS1c active speaker system—two remarkably transparent, musically engaging solutions at the cutting edge of speaker design.

We’ve also expanded our lineup with several world-class brands. As the new California dealer for Soulution, we're bringing their Swiss-engineered electronics to discerning West Coast listeners. We’ve welcomed Lumin for state-of-the-art streaming solutions, Audia Flight for high-performance Italian electronics, and Carbide Audio, whose advanced isolation footers are redefining mechanical grounding and resonance control.

We’re especially excited to feature the Grimm Audio MU1, MU2, and PW1 phono stage - delivering reference level digital and analog front end performance with elegant simplicity, highly accurate clocking, and stunning musicality.

In our pursuit of total-system performance, we’ve seen exceptional results with PSI Audio’s AVAA active bass traps - available in analog (C20) and digital (C214) versions—which provide powerful low-frequency room correction without traditional absorptive treatments.

On the digital front, our go-to solution for enhanced streaming performance is the DejitterIt SwitchX + WifiX combo. This setup reduces phase noise and jitter—two major culprits in digital signal degradation. SwitchX provides a low-noise Ethernet switch with precision clocking, while WifiX acts as a dedicated wireless bridge, isolating your streamer from noisy network environments to reveal smoother timing, lower noise floors, and a more analog-like musical flow.

Among the additional highlights in our curated showroom lineup:

1. darTZeel, Mola Mola, Soulution, Audia Flight, and Grimm Audio MU1, MU2 & PW1 electronics
2. Wave Kinetics NVS Turntable, Massif Audio Design equipment racks, and Carbide Audio isolation footers
3. Kuzma turntables and tonearms
4. Cartridges from DS Audio, Murasakino, Audio-Technica, Etsuro-Urushi, Miyajima Labs, Hana, and Ortofon
5. AFI Flat.Duo record flattener and relaxer, and Massif Audio Design record weights
6. A full array of accessories and analog essentials to optimize every aspect of your listening chain
