Bernard Li’s journey in high-end audio began as a young man in Hong Kong where he wrote reviews for the number one audio magazine, Audiotechnique. He has always been an analog fan. Now, with his successful retail and distribution company in Toronto, he has completed his dream of manufacturing a complete analog front end. He began with phono cartridges and progressed to his Musiko tonearm. The Musiko turntable now completes the package.

Without knowing the actual price, I way over-estimated the price of the table based on what I heard. A closer examination reveals a simplicity of design and knowledge of materials gained from years of experience. Bernard Li’s knowledge has far surpassed many designs requiring intricate or complex machining. The Musiko reminds me of the old saw attributed to Einstein: “Everything should be as simple as it can be, but not simpler.” He is also not burdened with the overhead of large-scale manufacturing or a dealer network. The savings are passed on to the customer.
