Origins
TakeOne was founded in South West London, New Malden by Jeremy C.—a veteran audio engineer and guitarist with over 30 years of devotion to the pursuit of perfect sound. With deep roots in both technical mastery and musical sensibility, Jeremy brings a singular vision to the world of high-fidelity audio and vinyl system design. From cartridges and tonearms to audio furniture, every TakeOne creation reflects a commitment to precision, refinement, and sonic excellence.
Philosophy
TakeOne's philosophy is to infuse the time-honoured techniques of traditional instrument-making into modern HiFi and vinyl system design. By applying the craftsmanship used in creating fine acoustic instruments—such as violins—we transform audio components into objects of musical expression, engineered for purity, resonance, and emotion.
Craftsmanship
At TakeOne, we draw from the revered traditions of fine instrument-making—employing time-honoured techniques once reserved for violins and classical guitars. Each component begins with the careful selection of premium tonewoods, chosen for their acoustic purity and natural elegance. Every element is individually shaped, treated, and refined by hand, not merely assembled but brought to life as a sonic instrument of timeless character.
