Where the state of the art is affordable

Audio by Van Alstine offers you true state-of-the-art high-fidelity at prices you can afford. We have been designing and building truly musical systems for over thirty-five years.

We sell direct so you can avoid high prices and high pressure. We avoid frivolous accessories. We want you for a long-term client, not for just a quick buck.

Our engineering staff is continually busy developing new designs and improving existing designs in our attempt to bring you the very best new audio equipment in every price range. In many cases we are able to offer affordable upgrades to your existing AVA equipment as well. And our upgrades to classic Dynaco and Hafler equipment are classics in themselves.

How good is our equipment? Our customers are our best sales people. Check the AudioREVIEW.com or AudioAsylum.com websites and search for “Van Alstine.” You will see what our customers think.

Our clients get our ongoing expert consultation and guidance. If you call us we will take the time to listen and give you the best guidance we can. You get to talk to a real person, not an electronic switchboard.

Our equipment is custom built to your order in Minnesota by our skilled technicians who still remember what "high fidelity" means.

We love educated consumers! There's way too much fluff and magic in the audio industry - still freezing your CDs? For over 15 years we wrote a newsletter chok full of primers, essays, and the occasional tirade. For the first time, all of the Audio Basics issues are available online, free for the looking.
