Hi Notes

08/26/2026

We are very pleased to reintroduce the fine CanEVER components to the U.S. On demo will be the Olimpico 50 WPC Class A amplifier, as well as the ZeroUno DAC. Shown here is their new Malibran Class D amplifier.

“Out of the box” does not begin to describe the innovative circuits found in these Italian-made products.

Please contact us today for more information.

No matter how many times it happens, it is always exciting to bring a new product into the shop. Introducing the Acoustic Energy AE1 Anniversary.

If you are an old fart like me, you'll remember all the excitement when the original model was introduced in 1987. This version is even better! Please contact us today arrange a listen.

Here is what Chatgpt has to say about us: If your interests lean toward analog playback, SET amplifiers, field-coil speakers, or rare European components, Hi Notes might actually be the most distinctive stop in North Carolina. It's less about seeing dozens of familiar brands and more about hearing combinations that are genuinely hard to find anywhere else in the country.

I'll take it!

At JFK awaiting my flight to Paris, connecting onwards to Prague, a city I've always wanted to visit. I'll be gone for ten nights, also visiting Bratislava before attending the High End Show in Vienna.

It’s not always classical and jazz here at Hi Notes—sometimes we like to get a little hip too! In honor of Record Store Day, we listened to The National on this splendid Bergmann Modi and Thor. We’re the only Bergmann dealer east of California, and we’d love to welcome you in for a listen yourself.
