The Bristol Show
Yes it is silly season once again and we are at the Sound and Vision show in Bristol. We are pleased to anounce the official production release of the Saffire with our bespoke ANTI (prototype) tone arm. Unfortunately due to legal (patent) issues we cannot show the ANTI in all it's glory but you will have an idea what to expect when it is fully released later this year.

As for the Saffire it is now officially a product available to order and has been fully evaluated. We are very pleased with it's reliability and performance and are happy to say that it is a viable alternative to the Pink Triangle Anniversary which still commands an unprecidated amount of interest on the second hand market years after Pink's demise. The Saffire page will be updated next week with new photo's from the show and more about what you can expect from this great turntable.
Complete LP12 Sondeks!
We may be considering the building and sale of complete Funk modified Linn LP12 Sondeks, in addition to our multi option upgrade kits. These are likely to be available with Linn Ittok tonearms (subject to availability). If you have any thoughts on this or would like to know the dirty details (prices etc) please email us (click).
The Heathrow show saw the first prototype of the funk Saffire. Needless to say, the press went bonkers and again much excitement from you our loyal customers. We expect to complete technical testing and go into full production within the month. We will keep you posted so pls keep coming back!

The Funk Firm
The Funk firm is a new and exciting company recently
landed upon the British audio scene. We are almost exclusively about analogue
sound, simply because we still think it is the best! If you care to look
at our designs you will see radical technology, new materials and unique
manufacturing techniques. Needless to say the sonic results are worth
a listen!
You may want to know, "who are the Funk Firm?"
Well, we don't wish to dwell on the past but we should say that we have
some previous experience within the Hi-Fi industry. Let us just say that
we have been around the block a few times.

Our
Philosophy
We at The Funk Firm love analogue - unashamedly.
We tweak parts no one else dares go near. Why? ‘Cos its fun!
We keep exploring its darkest secrets because we don’t know how
far this will take us and that is what is so exciting. Each development
brings with it results satisfying a basic hunger for knowledge
…and a reward that
is our collective enjoyment.

Delays...and delays.
“Quite simply we have been inundated with
enquiries, so a big thank you for your interest in our products.
We do try to reply to every message even if we
can’t help. This has meant that replies from us are delayed
and whilst we try and catch up and we apologise.
At the same time we do get back quite a few “unable to deliver”
messages to our replies; this is due to your spam filters or other
electronic problems. We then can’t help you especially if
there is no phone number we can alternately use. It is not because
we are ignoring you,
So if you haven’t heard back from us, check
the problem is not from your end or give us more information with
which to help you.”
