Audio Mirror

Founded in 2000 by Vladimir Bazelkov, Audio Mirror began when the Bulgarian-born electronic engineer moved to the United States after a career in audio electronics starting in 1984. Bazelkov graduated as an electronic engineer in 1986 and patented an innovative audio circuit (tone control with no phase shift distortions) in 1989. Now headquartered in Eden Prairie, Minnesota (previously Burnsville, MN), Audio Mirror specializes in high-end tube-based audio equipment hand-built by Bazelkov himself. The company follows a minimalist philosophy, emphasizing simple circuits built with only high-quality parts and point-to-point hand wiring. Their product line includes the acclaimed Tubadour series DACs (including the $2,500 Tubadour III NOS SE), premium amplifiers like the Addiction Mono Blocks ($20,000/pair) and Reflection monoblocks, and preamplifiers including the Wave series ($13,000-$22,000). Audio Mirror has gained recognition at major audio shows including AXPONA, where they premiered their latest Wave DAC and preamplifier systems. The company's trademark, registered in 2017, reflects Bazelkov's commitment to crafting boutique audio equipment that combines Bulgarian engineering heritage with American manufacturing excellence.
