ABOUT THE COMPANY
Audio Restored is a small business based in Brentwood, Essex, UK, specialising in high quality CD transfers of recorded sound from a variety of sources (vinyl, shellac, acetate and tape). Digital audio restoration is applied as necessary to ensure the best sound possible.
The business is run by myself, Graham Joiner from my home studio. For as long as I care to remember, I have had a passion for music and have been interested in the sound recording process, with special emphasis on the equipment used to play and record music on. I am a member of the City of London Phonograph and Gramophone society (CLPGS), and have an avid interest in vintage sound reproducers and records.
Back in the 70’s I was a regular subscriber to Melody Maker and Record Mirror music papers, as well as Everyday Electronics magazine, through which I built my first valve amplifier, soon followed by a transistor radio, as a school project.
Annual excursions to the Hi-Fi shows at Earls Court and Olympia were mandatory in those days, and what was then state of the art, is now vintage equipment, but no-less valuable for its age.
My studio combines highly acclaimed vintage equipment (EMT, Studer, Revox) with current high-end units (CEDAR, Linn, Tascam, Fostex, Akai) to enable me to offer this transfer service to anyone with cherished recordings, especially those in need of restoration and salvaging for posterity.
