About

I'm Kevin Chatfield and I am the sole proprietor of GIDEON AUDIO, and have been in this hobby for 20 years.  My focus and attention now is to pass on to others in the audiophile community what I have learned from my mentors, and offer value and performance in every audio product I carry. 

Our primary product line is Nightingale Audio’s customs built audio cables, power cords, digital interconnects, analog interconnects and speaker cables.

If you are new to the hobby, GIDEON AUDIO can help you assess your possibilities based on your personal preferences and budget limitations. For those of us with experience as an audiophile, GIDEON AUDIO hopes to have opportunity to have a dialogue with you about building a true-to-source reference system using our proven configuration approach.

GIDEON AUDIO offers some of our products for purchase online.  When it is not in the best interests of the consumer, GIDEON AUDIO can provide assistance by remote with the help of multimedia platforms.  

         

           

In the past twenty years, I have become adept in system diagnosis of weaknesses:  components being bottlenecks, cabling introducing veils, and various power components capable of any one of the effects mentioned. 

During the early years, using various cables and components, there were benefits in some ways, but almost always at the expense of a "trade-off" for other aspects that was not improving system performance, but overall would cause undesirable coloration, and loss of signal integrity on multiple levels.  

GIDEON AUDIO uses descriptive phrases when we have a dialogue with you to describe the benefits of our unique approach to creating an audio system for you that eliminates the endless quest for audio system improvements, and creates system performance that satisfies the listener. 

This paradigm changes the frustrations of what we like to call "Analyzing and comparing" to "Identifying and enjoying".  

Our customer contact list has been growing since July of 2019, and has seen steady growth.   The new way to see audio, pun intended, has generated marked interest among the audiophiles interested in exploring alternatives. 

How to present the "Core First" approach has been a challenging but very rewarding experience for everyone involved.   

One of my return customers was delighted to talk about the "Core First"  approach,  thoroughly enjoyed our demo session, and is still raving about the performance level of his system after our upgrades.
