Who Am I?
Please let me introduce myself, my name is Terry and I'm the owner of GC HiFi based in Arundel on the Gold Coast.
Hifi is not only my business but its my hobby and passion, few things at this stage of my life come close to putting as big a smile on my face as listening to a well put together Hifi system playing music that I love, whether it is on one of my systems or a system I have helped put together for one of the many great people I have had the pleasure of getting to know since starting GC HiFi five years ago.

60 Years of High Fidelity in Music & Life
Some people (well not to generalise but I will just a little…in my experience, some younger people under 40) tend to think that 60 years of age is getting on a bit. Anyone over the age of 50 knows that you generally stop thinking about your age after 40 and just get on with it. In fact, at some point in time, most people realise that in the back of their mind they still think much like they did when they were in their 30’s with some added experience and wisdom thrown in for good measure.
Those of a similar age to me who had their formative musical years through the 60’s and 70’s experienced a revolution in music that not only changed the course of music but also our modern culture. Music wasn’t just a sometime thing, it was an all-time thing that inspired me every day. (I say all-time thing but then bikes and girls came along and music did have to share the stage for quite a while).
Much like the music legends of that era, music has kept me feeling young at heart my entire life. Having the chance to share my passion with others and create listening experiences that can transport people to another zone of fidelity was what inspired me to establish GC HiFi. The developments in technology over the past 20 years have been astonishing.
Come share a few moments with me and experience a new world of sound.
Next Gold Coast HiFi Clubhouse GTG Announced ... Sat 8th November 4-8pm
Its Amplifier night @ Our Next Gold Coast HiFi ClubHouse GTG Saturday 8th Nov 4pm -8pm.
I know its short notice but it has taken some time to get this organised, finally we are hosting our first ever Amplifier focussed GTG and we have some stunners.
The amps will be from three price ranges and are very different and impressive amplifiers driving some equally impressive speaker / front end combinations. First up the 3rd (rear)room will have the least expensive but giant killing Heschl HAL-200 Hybrid Power amp, Room 2 (front room) will have the recently arrived Pass Labs INT-250 Integrated Amp that I have instantly fallen in love with and what it does SQwise to the systems I have had it in.
Last but obviously in no way least in the main room we will have a pair of the seriously impressive and stunning sounding flagship Linn Klimax 800 power amps, which of course we will combine with the Linn Klimax DSM. The Klimax 800 power amps deliver something so very special in what they add to any system and really should be heard live at least once if you are into true high end Hifi.
Please contact me ASAP (0418 691 294) if you would like to put your name down to attend this small GTG as the clock is ticking. Drinks and Pizza/snacks will be provided so come hungry and enjoy this special near end of year GTG.
cheers,
Terry
Who am I?
Hi,
Please let me introduce myself, my name is Terry and I'm the owner of GC HiFi based in Arundel on the Gold Coast.
Hifi is not only my business but its my hobby and passion, few things at this stage of my life come close to putting as big a smile on my face as listening to a well put together Hifi system playing music that I love, whether it is on one of my systems or a system I have helped put together for one of the many great people I have had the pleasure of getting to know since starting GC HiFi five years ago.
To me great Hifi is all about the journey, I spend days comparing various components to find what has the best system synergy. Great Hifi isn't always about how much you can or can't afford to spend, its just about putting the right combination of Hifi brands and models together in one excellent sounding system. To that end if you have a favourite Amp, DAC or even speaker cables and your looking to upgrade your system you can always bring them along for a private pre-arranged listening and comparing session. Its not unusual for one of these sessions to take most of a day or even spill over into a second day.
I have a favourite saying that I live by for building a system, measure twice, cut once. Where ever possible try and hear before you buy any component, buying blindly can deliver a great outcome but that is more good luck than anything else.
Same goes for online reviews, they are a good starting point but ultimately it doesn't matter what it sounds like to someone else's ears, no matter how experienced they are, yours are the only ears that count.
Something else we do, on a regular basis we hold, usually on a Saturday late arvo into the evening, a Gold Coast HiFi Clubhouse Get together where we showcase new gear, these events usually have between 15 and 20 people in attendance and if you would like to attend one, just give me a call and introduce yourself.
If you have got this far then hopefully what I have been saying has made sense to you, please feel free to either call or email me to have a chat or arrange a private listening session.
cheers,
Terry
Finally Ready For This Saturdays Gold Coast HiFi Clubhouse GTG @ GC HiFi
