HISTORY OF
TIME MACHINE SOUNDS

Valve amplifiers have always fascinated me. I built my first valve amplifier for guitar in the mid 1960s and I have built many valve amplifiers since then. The first amplifier had two main features: It was loud and provided a serious amount of distortion when turned up.

I returned to this hobby many years later and started designing, developing and building valve amplifiers from scratch. But there was a key difference and a challenge this time: to create hi-fi amplifiers for the demanding listener. I set myself the mission to deliver the essence of the valve sound: clear, warm, smooth and sophisticated.

Friends and acquaintances (both with and without hi-fi experience) listened to my amplifiers, thought they were excellent and encouraged me to make them available on a wider basis. This is how the idea of Time Machine Sounds was born: To transport the great sound of yesterday into the present.

After extensive literature research and combining a selection of some of the best available valve technology and high quality components in modern circuitry with a rigorous product philosophy as well as construction by hand throughout, Time Machine Sounds has succeeded in realising its mission.

I hope TMS® products give you many years of excellent performance and as much satisfaction as they have given me during this travel through time.
