Cosmic Slop, Chemical Brother’s warm-up DJ James Holroyd, Victor Simonelli, KMAH Radio, Luke Unabomber at Electric Chair, TheGetUp and more have fallen in love with Paradise Systems and their audio evolution.

Each unit is hand made in his laboratory in Leeds, where Steve spends hours and days creating his unique mixers, pre-amps and 3 band equalisers. Each unit can be fully customised too. Want FX inserts and a gleaming chrome finish? No
problem. Want your pre-amp customised with rumble filters, LED lights, filter knee frequencies and a wide range of colour finishes? No problem!

But what should the perfect sound, well, sound like?

“The perfect sound system would include an immersive experience where all frequencies in the program material are amplified without distortion or additive noise,” says Steve.

“The sound stage should be open and allow for a dynamic audio experience where each frequency is represented to allow the experience of music that sounds live. The treble should be sparkly with no harshness or sibilance, the bass should be deep and emotional, one should feel the bass, and the mids should be clear and sharp.”
