Philosophy
Home Amplifiers Background Philosophy Tech Papers Forum Links Ordering Contact		Here at Vaughn Audio, we build superb tube audio gear. As a matter of fact, we build some of best sounding tube audio gear in the world, at prices that embarrass the "big name guys!" It's because we have a different philosophy, that stems from a genuine, heartfelt passion for high performance vacuum tube audio. Our firm conviction is that any audio gear is only worth what it sounds like, regardless of how beautiful it may look or how lofty the claims in the sales hype are! Great sound is no accident, and it doesn't happen by chance alone. Countless hours of design, prototyping, critical listening, and a staggering amount of painstaking, highly skilled hand labor in the Old World tradition are involved in every product. Excellence is an unhurried process, and a true labor of love for us. You see, we are a small, family owned-operated company that caters to the music lover, the discriminating individual who wants to enjoy music the way it was meant to be heard. We don't build "noise maker toys" like you find at the big box store. We don't produce ultra expensive "audio-jewelry bling" that's beautiful to behold but uninteresting to listen to (we'll leave that to the big name guys). Instead, we build musical instruments. That's right! Musical instruments produce music, do they not? We view the audio amplifier as an instrument in itself, just like a piano, a cello, or guitar. It makes music. It should therefore be treated with no less attention than the construction of a fine musical instrument. You'll find our products to be refreshingly different; a cut above in design and performance, and leading the pack in value. Why? Because it's just the way we do things here in our little corner of the world, at Vaughn Audio. To bring that elusive feeling of satisfaction to the customer, that only comes from owning a truly fine instrument of uncompromising quality, is what we're all about. Much of that commitment lies in doing business the old fashioned way, by dealing directly with our customer. By buying directly from us and eliminating the middleman, you pay about half of what the dealer price would be. Plus, we'd never allow just anyone to carry and sell our gear for us! When you purchase a Vaughn Audio product, you become a member of the family. We know our customers by name, and they know us. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us anytime. We will be more than happy to help you in any way possible. That's what we're here for. You see, you don't just buy a piece of tube gear from us, you buy a complete ownership package. When you make your purchase, you get a risk-free 30 day trial period to audition the gear in your own home, in your own system. If unsatisfied with the sound, return it for a cheerful, "no questions asked" refund, with no return or restocking fees. You're out nothing but shipping. We're that confident in the performance of our products! A 30 day trial period and a 100% money back guarantee. It's all part of our commitment to doing things the old fashioned way. We believe that if a company's pride in the quality of their products does not extend to and fully encompass their business practices and customer services as well, then they have failed miserably as a company, no matter how good their products may be. A happy and satisfied customer is the true earmark of a great company. That's why we also back up each product with a limited lifetime warranty! Should your Vaughn Audio product ever need repair, we will provide parts and labor free of charge for as long as you own it, as per our warranty statement. With that, I'd like to personally extend the hand of invitation and welcome you to the Vaughn Audio family. We look forward to serving you. Eddie Vaughn
