mYtunes with Jav Rathor. Thursday April 24th from 7:30pm

We first met Jav when he was ready to audition and purchase his next music system which we installed in his new home - and when Jav isn’t enjoying the great outdoors, he now has a beautiful listening room for relaxing with music. We are delighted that Jav offered to host a mYtunes evening to share and present his significant 14 tracks and his journey through music and playback systems.

A few words from Jav -

“I grew up in Salford and was heavily influenced by the music of the late 70s and early 80s post punk /new wave / synth scenes. Coupled with the DJs like John Peel and Tony "The Greek" on Piccadilly 261. This encouraged my early music buying. My habit was of only buying the extended 12 '' versions for maximum pleasure. My taste in electronic sound naturally drew me towards dance... investing many ££s in electro , early hip hop, Italo disco, house, acid, and techno. As a complete opposite I was always into prog/metal, particular favs Hawkwind, Maiden and Motörhead.
As the years have passed, I have become a collector as much as a listener. I’m enjoying dark ambient sounds and other worldly sounding movie soundtracks. Also, modern take on post punk/ synth. Dance music is never far from my ears and heavily influenced by intergalactic FM internet radio from the Hague. Up until very recently I hadn't invested much in my hi fi from 2003. Due to space for speakers, the system confined to loft listening. I had B&W speakers, Denon Amp, Marantz CD player, Technics Turntable and for nostalgia, my Yamaha tape deck. It felt a million miles away from the family gold coloured Marantz hifi stack system with graphic eq from 80s. We recently moved into a house with more space, I decided to treat myself to a new set up in a dedicated room. Initially I thought B&W speakers and Naim amp... after a visit to Brian and Trevor I was rightly set on the correct path to ATC scm40a speakers and LINN select Organik. Modest by some standards in the world of expensive hifi but perfect for my budget and my wife’s heart rate. There is a bedroom DJ inside of me and a new limited edition green technics 1200 turntable firms up the system. I’ve never been so content as sitting on my own being taken to another place listening to some amazing sounding music... in particular electronic based or the recent Dune soundtrack!”

Having already seen Jav’s mYtunes playlist, we know this will be another mYtunes evening to remember..

mYtunes is an informal gathering at brianandtrevors with lots of interesting music presented with a high-spec audio system. We are always on the lookout for more willing mYtunes victims! - so let us know if you would like to be a mYtunes presenter - it’s a lot of fun and a great way for others to discover new music by listening to someone else’s personal favourites.

Register with us to meet and listen with Jav from 7:30pm on Thursday April 24th ... See MoreSee Less

Kudos Audio Evening February 27th from 7:30pm

We are delighted to welcome Kudos Audio to present Sigao Drive at brianandtrevors. We will be running A/B comparisons to hear the Sigao difference.

In our client demonstrations, we have achieved a remarkable defined and musical playback with the Sigao crossover and our range of Kudos Loudspeakers, and this is your opportunity to hear for yourself.

SIGAO DRIVE represents a ground-breaking new approach to crossover design, never before seen in mainstream HiFi. Neither traditionally active nor truly passive - SIGAO DRIVE is an external crossover with no power supply, situated in front of the power amplifier in the audio signal chain.

There will also be special Kudos offers with significant savings available to attendees who order from us.

Please respond to this post or message us to attend and we look forward to seeing you! ... See MoreSee Less
