Doug Brady Hi-Fi
A Remarkable Beginning
World-famous Doug Brady Hi-Fi was founded in Liverpool in 1960, during the rise of turntables, vinyl, and The Beatles. This cultural revolution, with Liverpool at its heart, saw the opening of the very first 'Brady' shop on Smithdown Road. It marked the beginning of something remarkable, and as word spread, turntable sales soared. Success soon followed, with a flagship store launched in Covent Garden, London.
Our Heritage
Founder Douglas Brady had a deep passion for music and played a key role in establishing some of the UK's finest 'High Fidelity' audio electronics and turntable brands, such as Naim, Rega, and Chord. Doug Brady Hi-Fi was one of the very first retailers to stock Naim in the early 1970s. Doug Brady and Julian Vereker, founder of Naim Audio, shared a mutual dedication to audio perfection, believing that 'music must come first'.
