Argento Audio

About

Argento Audio is the very first brand of AE. We met Ulrik Madsen almost 2 decades ago when he was still a lawyer in Denmark. When we commenced our relationship, the foray of the “Serenity Master Reference” cable in Hong Kong sparked off an intense debate over the role of cables in a system.  It was a time where an artificial inflation of mid-range warmth was the only game in town. Argento, however, excelled in contour resolution with respect to “the shape of sound”. The clarity of Argento cables immediately translated into a cult fan base, subsequently gaining an important position in the industry with the introduction of the “Flow” series of 2008/09.  Even after a decade, the Flow series is still selling well. Many newcomers find it hard to believe the Flow series has been around for 10 years, given that the resolution of these cables are still better than most new boutique cables.  In 2016, the FMR Extreme Edition (FMR EE) series was introduced. These have come to be the de facto “Reference-of-the-Reference” for the most critical of audiophiles.

Energy and Space

“It's the silence between the notes, that holds the key to all music", said the French composer Claude Debussy.  Mozart made similar conclusion.  Maestro conductors in modern time such as Karajan, Bernstein, and Stokowski etc all agreed.

Music is an art. Art isn’t just about colour, but contrast.  Music does not solely exist in the notes but also in pauses (silence between the notes or spacing). It is intangible in physical form but tangible in human senses.  Silence has the power to punctuate notes and creates a sense of anticipation. 

Thus, it is also correlated with tempo, dynamic, rhythm, harmonic progression and instrumentation, which in turn holistically define the energy level of any piece of music. 

Legendary jazz musician, Mile Davis said “silence is more important than sound”.

Audio Exotics pursues genuine musicality through recreating the silence between notes on any recording. 

Our systematic approach to annihilate noises will connect you easily with the souls of your beloved artists as though you are traveling in a Time Machine.

Given numerous humble works I had done over the past few years, it is about time to make a profile video of my company.  The aim is to internationalise the company brand to broader audiences. 

The world should know more about my tremendous amount of intellectual effort put forth in the art and science of recreating the soul of musicians. 

Please come travel a Time Machine with us in Hong Kong and Singapore to reach any music on any recorded medium.
