Psidex
Audio Laboratory is a brand of Paradyne Systems Inc a Connecticut corporation.
Founded by Georgian and Tom Sokira in 1975, Paradyne is an engineering oriented
company engaged in the design and manufacture of motion control, power
conversion and custom electronic and audio systems. Tom has a background in
audio design and studio recording dating back to the late 1950’s, having
designed both vacuum tube and solid state equipment for the New York recording
and film studios. With more than 10 years of experience in the Aerospace
industry during the 1960’s he has accumulated a wealth of practical as well as
theoretical engineering expertise. On the practical side, Tom and Georgian built
and operated a studio for 8 years where most of the equipment including the
console was designed and built by them.
The Psidex line was
started a few years back to build vacuum tube pro gear using the tried and true
technology which built the recording industry up from it’s humble acoustic
beginnings. This wealth of knowledge, coupled with the most modern of materials
and aided by computer design and simulation, makes the Psidex line of tube
products unique. Of course we also have deep respect for solid state gear
which, when properly designed, can offer fine performance. We also like to make
our own transformers at Paradyne because it is fun and they sound terrific.
We
try to put a lot of truth and happiness into our Psidex tube gear because we
think our customers deserve the best.
