Perpetuating the hi-fi underground since 1996
ABOUT US DECWARE is a trademark of High Fidelity Engineering Co., located in East Peoria IL, USA. We are a small business where everyone takes a great deal of pride in producing some of the finest audio gear in the world. Founded in 1996 by Steve Deckert, the company started with a single amplifier called "The Zen Triode" that was largely responsible for developing Decware's cult following. Since that time we have lovingly hand built and shipped over 6000 amplifiers, one at a time, to the USA, Canada, and over 30 countries around the world! We coined the phrase, "If the first watt sucks, why continue?", that describes our focus on low power amplifiers. It's a bit of a purist, less is more approach, but that's where the real fidelity is! OLD SCHOOL VALUES Somewhat of a rarity these days, we hold strong to the old school values that revolve around integrity and honesty. We're a company with not only real people answering the phone, but the actual people you need to talk to. GREAT COMPANIES COME FROM GREAT PEOPLE
Cumulative Experience Equals: 75
years designing and building tube amplifiers.
68 years designing and building loudspeakers. 30 years programming and swearing at computers. 128 years playing and recording music. 60 years in retail audio sales. Together we've put hi-fi in the hands of over 10,000 customers and all by word of mouth. We are the people behind your purchase. We are the people who hand build everything we sell. Everyone is an expert tech, including the two highest skilled set of hands for delicate work, Sarah and DeVon who build all of our cables, raw drivers, and small electronics. THE TOTAL PACKAGE One reason why Decware products have the reputation they do is because almost all of us are musicians. We understand music. Our loudspeakers are probably better engineered because we manufacture amplifiers and intimately understand the art of amplification... The same can be said for our amplifiers which are built around an intimate understanding of loudspeakers. The two fields of expertise nicely compliment each other. Of course without the ears to hear if it's good or bad, you're screwed. We've accumulated over 3000 hours of master tapes from our own music in our studio and use those recordings to evaluate the fidelity and imaging capabilities of our products. BUSINESS MODEL Steve's business model is simple. Buy the best quality US made parts, don't farm out any of the assembly and sell direct to the customer... This makes it impossible for similarly priced retail products to compete because once you remove the dealer markup and other markups, they are no longer similarly priced! Selling direct to the customer has blessed us with feedback from nearly every sale spanning 15 years. This in turn has honed our products to a level of perfection that would not have been possible any other way. Possibly why Decware has never designed and built any lemons and why we get less than a one percent return rate on our 30 day trials and why we can offer a lifetime warranty. CUSTOMER SERVICE We love what we're doing. Our customer service is real. Our understanding of hi-fi and what it takes to make something sound head-shakingly wonderful spans not only audio gear and loudspeakers, but acoustics. People who sincerely want better sound (many who've already spent 5 and 6 figures on their system searching for the holy audio grail) are never left in the dark. Steve goes out of his way to help, even if it means recommending someone Else's gear. Of course we have a soft spot for the sincere but broke audiophiles of the world because that's where it all started! THE ZEN AMP Probably
