If you are into high end audio and if you are in Massachusetts, blink high end is a must visit! Tim and Veronica are top notch. Their goal is to truly help you take your audiophile setup to the next level. Tim will not recommend something that will not benefit your setup and he will give you his honest opinion and feedback. He has a “good ear” for great sound and all the products that he carries are a reflection of that.

Great products and great service. Tim the owner is an expert in music production and gave me suggestions on the best combination of speaker, amplifier, and streamer which plays amazing music. Veronica spent over 10 hours with me comparing different devices and helped me find the combination I like the most. They dont try to sell me the most expensive ones but the most reasonable set based on my listening habit and my budget. Recommend for music enthusiastic in MA to visit this lovely store in Cambridge.

Had the most awesome experience in the Blink studios. If you are a fan of music, as I am sure you are if you came to read about this store, you will love the ambience of the place. I have years of experience listening to concert classical music and am also trained to some extent classically and was shopping for my first high end audio system. I was able to quickly book an appointment with Veronica on the phone the same day I called.I was welcomed to the beautiful studio in camridge, with a grand piano, which is played by the owner Tim. He has versatile knowledge ranging from jazz and classical piano to music theory and music production, making me really trust his knowledge of speakers and sound.I was quickly shown the speakers that will fit the budget range and there was no pressure at all while I was listening to the music I wanted to hear. I was of course blown away by the quality of sound and was able to decide very quickly on the purchase.I revisited the next day and made the purchase decision. Delvery was made the day after. Tim himself brought the system in his car amd helped setup and layout, giving detailed advice on how I could improve the sound.What I really liked about the experience was that they did not judge me based on how much money I was willing to shell out and treated me very well. All this is besides the great quality of the products they have.This will hopefully establish a long term relationship with the store as they have a huge number of high end audio products including pre amps, DACs and CD players.Thank you Tim and Veronica... I will surely visit again!

I have been purchasing audio equipment from Blink for 15 years. The firm is completely honest and professional. Tim is an accomplished classical pianist, voice teacher and tonmeister (recording engineer). You will find no one more knowledgeable about high end audio.

I bought a pair of Raidho D3s, and they are spectacular. I followed-up with a Ansuz Mainz8 and AC cable. Everything working very nicely indeed. Great service and a fine selection of equipment - all chosen for their quality. Marvelous demo room and 1-to-1 service. Highly recommended. (I posted this also on Yelp .. I am not a bot).

Blink High End, located in Cambridge, MA, is one of the most prestigious and reputable audio salons in the United States. They carry ultra high-end audio and video equipment for the very discerning.I recently purchased their exceptionally sounding Raidho C4.1 audio speakers. As a reviewer/contributor for The Stereo Times on-line high-end audio magazine, I had been evaluating the best new audio speaker products available during the past two years to meet my personal audio system needs. After meeting Tim Lukas, the owner of Blink High End, and auditioning the top of the line Raidho C4.1s I decided to purchase these incredible sounding speakers. Having decades of experience in dealing with many audio manufacturers, products and businessmen, I quickly came to realize he was the “real deal” with regards to how professionally he addressed customer satisfaction via his knowledge and passion for the reproduction of realistic musical sound.Tim and his professional staff made the acquisition of my new speakers seamless and painless. The entire Blink High End staff’s attention to detail was beyond any previous experience I have had to date. Swapping out my old speakers for the new ones had many logistical moving parts that Tim dealt with in an efficient and timely manner. I was left with simply enjoying the treasures in my music collection.Anyone interested in investigating extraordinarily high quality music playback equipment should call Blink High End and make an appointment for an audition.Im glad I did.Dan SeculaThe Stereo Times

I bought a pair of Raidho D2 speakers earlier this year after listening to them at Blink High End. I have been interested in audio for several decades and moved into higher end audio equipment about ten years ago. The Raidho D2s were an upgrade from the Wilson Benesh Arcs that I had been listening to for a number of years in a home theater set up that also doubles for audiophile stereo listening. I am driving the Raidhos with Audionet amplification with Nordost speaker cables and interconnects. While I was very pleased with my speakers at the time, the Raidhos presented a new level of realism that I had not heard before and that I found compelling enough to upgrade to the Raidhos.I have come to think of the Raidho D2s as being like sonic microscopes. I was hearing things on old recordings that I had not heard before after years/decades of listening. I recall Tim at Blink saying that the sound at his studio had degraded for a week or two after having new electrical power wiring installed. I thought that this was hard to believe, but following recommendations of a number of audio specialists, I invested $150 in having an electrician run a dedicated power line from my circuit breaker box to my living room dedicated to my audio equipment. I was quite surprised to be able to clearly hear this change immediately. Fortunately, the sound quality returned rather quickly over a week or two.I was highly skeptical about being able to hear noticeable differences in wires (speaker, interconnects and even power cables), but hearing is believing. I even did an A/B comparison with a Berklee student who has helped me set up recording studio software in my living room (some friends think this audio interest is a little over the top) and HE could hear the difference in high end power cables. There are things on your familial recordings that are probably waiting for you to discover.Bottom line, if you are interested in really listening to music with a sense of “being there”, you may want to give Blink High End a call and arrange to take a listen for yourself. A word of warning, if like me, you will find yourself starting to notice that wires/cables matter, that speaker placement matters, where you sit in the room matters, and the quality of the source materials matter. Sometimes, you just need a sonic microscope to hear them.
