Engineering high end stereo equipment for music lovers! Our Arion II is a Part-time audio 2022 Reviewer's choice award winner!

My Design Philosophy: Our research proves that circuit layout, grounding, and supply network implementation are critical to the low level resolving capabilities of an audio circuit. Controlling return loops of both the signal and the circuit biasing are also crucial. Our approach is based on extensive testing in strictly controlled circuit environments and through prototype construction, with listening tests the final arbiter. Our work reveals the purity and low-level detail retrieval that makes our products stand out and listeners take notice. Listening to well-reproduced music should stop you in your tracks. Music should envelop you and keep you wanting more until you realize you've forgotten to eat and stayed up way too late. We strive for this in all of our work.

My Background: Music has been a high priority for me throughout my life. While going to college, I apprenticed in my uncle's stereo repair shop on Long Island and, when we moved to Idaho, opened my own high-end repair shop. Inspired by the bleeding-edge work of James Bongiorno, my hobby evolved into GAS Audio in 1981. The business grew worldwide. Recognition of the inherent musicality of GAS Audio's restorations, for which we're very grateful, has resulted in a variety of commissions to design the products showcased on this website. Bettinger Audio Design has been a logical evolution of GAS Audio to design and produce these cutting edge new designs.
