At Reference Sounds, we've turned our love for sound into our work. With that "you're there" feeling as our personal flux-capacitor, we strive for a musical experience that brings us ever closer to reality. Like Doc, we walk the path toward the future with an open mind and an open ear. And on that journey, we sometimes encounter things that even slightly confuse us. Products that unexpectedly make such an impression and offer so much added value that we believe every music enthusiast should hear them. That's exactly what happened when we experienced Telos Audio Design. A pioneer in the field of mains filtering and grounding, with one simple goal: to protect the connected electronics from pollution from the mains and ground path so they can fully focus on the music signal. The result? Fabulous! As if the system suddenly has the freedom to reach its full potential. Long story short: We're proud to introduce you to a wonderful addition to our product range: Telos Audio Design.

shaping the noise

Telos Audio Design is the brainchild of Jeff Lin, founded in Taipei in 2006 with the conviction that power supply and grounding interference hampers an audio system's musical potential. This makes sense, as we all listen to a modulated power supply signal; source, preamplifier, and power amplifier – all interconnected building blocks that rebuild the signal from the power supply. Therefore, power line interference from the mains can, to a greater or lesser extent, seep into the audio signal. The interconnection of audio products via signal ground and ground creates a second source of interference from potential differences and noise. Telos Audio Design uniquely addresses this interference with active mains filtering and ground noise reduction systems.

shockwave

It's going too far to say we can predict the future, but we dare say that this Foundation Series will send a small shockwave through the audio landscape. Or rather, will dissipate it. Because even if the musical gains from the Foundation models are only a fraction of what happens with the Monster models, we can promise an extreme upgrade in realism and emotional engagement.
