Welcome to Audiophile Audio!
My name is Øystein Hasnes, and that is a picture of me, speaking about audio equipment to people like you that love sound! I have been working for more than twelve years selling high-end and luxury audio equipment from my base in Oslo, Norway.
Although I am based in Norway, I help people find the exact audio equipment they need in many countries. For obvious reasons, I have helped many clients in the other Scandinavian countries, mostly Sweden and Finland. Depending on the situation and requirements, I am often able to help people across Europe, most notably in France, Spain and Portugal. If you are reading this page from somewhere I have not mentioned, but would like my help, please use the contact form below to reach out. I love helping people with audio and if I can, I’ll be happy to help you too.
Early on my in career I learnt to call back to customers in order to know whether they were happy with the equipment they purchased, and if they needed any further advice or help. This made me realize that most sellers don’t receive feedback from what they have sold. It also helped me to build a big network of happy friends that also happened to be customers.
When I started to get seriously interested in HiFi and bought some of the most expensive equipment I now own, I started from the last thing I should have cared about, which was a very expensive set of of cables. It took me about ten years to get my HiFi setup as perfect as it can be. Some people might call it learning by experience. I did not learn so much by trial and error, but rather as a professional by helping audio enthusiasts with their HiFi setups and by having access to all the latest equipment from all major factories, going to every major conference, and so on.
With time, I have learnt about many of the common pitfalls clients have experienced which makes me very qualified to help you make the decisions to get your own audio system just right.
I work with the best of the best brands in audio, such as Burmester, Gryphon, Nordost and IsoTek. I will be happy to help you select exactly the right equipment to enhance your existing audio system, or to build a brand new sound from scratch.
I look forward to speaking with you and discussing your needs.
