Secret of the hidden hi-fi store
For more than forty years Unilet has been the worst-kept secret in the hi-f- world,
with audiophiles flocking to visit the showroom that is situated back from the
High Street in New Malden. Inside the Tardis-like store they found a veritable
Aladdin’s Cave of the latest and best in all things hi-fi. Today they can also find
superb home cinema equipment ready to be demonstrated in any of the three
fully air-conditioned demonstration suites. We invite you to visit us and see and
hear for yourself.
In this edition of The Volume, you will find interviews with eight of the industry’s
key figures, advice on choosing and installing the right equipment, and listings of
all the brands we normally have in stock many of which are on demonstration.
The prices shown are the suggested retail prices in April 2010 and so are for
guidance only. We are anxious to offer customers the best value and service
possible so please come and talk over your requirements and budget with one
of our team. I’m sure we’ll come up with the right equipment combination at a
price you’ll be happy with.
Team talk
Some people have called us The Magnificent Seven but in truth
we’re just seven guys who love what we do. We’ve got a lot of
experience between us and each of us is an expert on something!
Vernon – Never at a loss for words, he knows every

manufacturer personally so we get the latest models first.
Vernon claims to have been an audiophile before Eddison
invented the Phonograph and we tend to believe him!
Passionate about the latest developments he’s also a real
lover of vinyl and is responsible for our in-store
vinyl collection.
Amit – is brilliant at knowing exactly what works with

what. He ensures we have stock of the best of the best at
great prices. He likes to keep a low profile but, after 30+
years in the business, what he doesn’t know about hi-fi
and cables, connectors and headphones isn’t
worth knowing.
Joe – isn’t someone you’ll forget. Once you’ve met him,

you’ll know what we mean. He’s learned a lot about
hi-fi and home cinema in the 10 years he’s been in the
industry and he’ll be only too happy to pass on his
views to you – especially if you offer him a plain
chocolate digestive.
David – having studied Film, Media and Graphical
communications is our resident film buff and is the man
to talk to regarding aspect ratios, colour timing, frame
rates, digital theatre sound system calibration etc., etc.
He’s also responsible for updating our website.
Erick – our latest member is the man to talk to if you

want a specialised Sky or Free Sat installation or state-of-
the-art multi-room system. When it comes to wiring up
the house for multi-room sound, there’s no-one remotely
as talented as Erick. He spent many a year in audio
retailing in Tottenham Court Road, before spending seven
years at Sky.
Keith – Quieter than the rest of us, and some would say
the wiser for it, Keith’s youthful looks hide the fact that
he’s lived audio for thirty years or more. Keith has taken
on our service department, getting everything in order.
He’s a good listener, great at solving problems and just
the sort of ‘teccie’ everyone needs.
Phillip – Having studied studio recording and mastering,

Phil has one of the best ears in the business. Actually,
make that two. If you want to compare different speakers,
Phil’s your man. He’s pretty hot on computer systems
too which comes in very handy with some of the latest
computer-controlled gear.

From first steps...
1969
In July 1969 the eyes and ears of the world
waited for those few words that would
announce man’s first steps on land other than
earth. It was “one small step for man, one
giant leap for mankind.” But meanwhile down
in a sleepy suburb of London, another man
was taking his first steps into the unknown.
Peter Merrick, decided that he didn’t want
to follow into the family firm of Ferrograph
Reel-to-Reel recorders. His vision was to open
a store that would dedicate itself to the very
best in two-channel reproduction. He opened
the store that stands today – Unilet at 35 High Street, New Malden.
It was one of the very first stores to dedicate itself to high fidelity.
While Michael Caine was driving Minis around in Turin and was saying ‘Hang on lads. I’ve
got a great idea’, at Unilet that idea was being turned into reality.
1970s
Peter saw that there were some
tremendous advances in high fidelity
happening around the world and
strived to bring the best of the best to
his store in New Malden. In America he
found Stanton cartridges and became
their UK distributor. The quality of
their cartridges was appreciated by
budding audiophiles long before
DJs used their more robust cousins in ‘Scratching’
contests in the Royal Albert Hall which Unilet sponsored. In Japan he found the Stax
range of headphones and became their UK distributor.
Soon the Unilet store was gaining the reputation of being the avant garde of hi-fi
stores demonstrating Accuphase, Fidelity Research, Audio Research, Krell, Apogee, and
Macintosh.
It was Unilet that first offered customers a bespoke cabling service becoming distributors of
Monster Cable and supplying other legendary brands such as Ultra Cables.
As Unilet progressed, supported by its quirky ads in the hi-fi press, it became the champion
of brands new to the UK such as Nakamichi, Koetsu and was sought out by now legendary
Japanese manufacturer, Sansui.
But it wasn’t all foreign products. In 1973 Unilet became the first KEF Reference dealer,
followed in 1975 by becoming one of the very first Linn/Naim dealers and a couple of
years later one of the first to stock the emergent A&R Cambridge (ARCAM) brand.
1980s
By this time Unilet was operating three more stores in
Guildford, Wimbledon and South Kensington as the
demand for quality audio products reached its peak. But
Peter continued in his quest to find ever more interesting
and great performing products. Twice a year he would
be found at the American CES shows in Las Vegas and
Chicago as well as at all the major international shows.
Unilet, as a result, expanded their range of products still
further becoming involved in the distribution of ProAc
loudspeakers in 1980. Unilet was a very early champion of
Antony Michaelson’s new Musical Fidelity brand and was the very first AudioLab
dealer in the world.
When Yamaha introduced their new surround sound technology, Unilet was very quick to
set up a dedicated DSP room, one of the first in the country.
1990s
This decade saw many changes but Unilet continued to offer the
very best in hi-fi although it now was operating just one (enlarged)
store in New Malden. Custom Cable Service was established in
the 80s but by now was the leading supplier of bespoke cables in
the UK. Determined to champion new products Unilet was one
of the first dealers to recognise the qualities of Chord Electronics
and was an early championer of Ken Ishiwata and his Marantz
KIs.
Sadly, our founder died in 1998 and it was left to members of his team including Amit
Patel and Vernon Hamblin to carry on the Unilet tradition.
2000s
The team set about completely renovating the New Malden
premises, upgrading the demonstration suites to help customers
audition the esoteric equipment on offer. Home Cinema was
now introduced and Unilet Hi-Fi was now known as Unilet
Sound and Vision. But throughout, Unilet has stayed faithful to
its two channel roots.
And true also to its mission of offering new and exciting
brands to audiophiles, during this period manufacturers
such as Plinius, Leema, Heed and PMC were welcomed in. Many
And now...
Unilet has always attracted the very best manufacturers and through them the most
appreciative of customers. Unilet has always been sought out by hi-fi and home cinema by
many famous actors, rock stars and TV personalities. We’re too discreet to mention their
names.
But you don’t have to be a singer or a film star to appreciate the service and enthusiasm
you’re guaranteed at Unilet. Join us as we enter our sixth decade – whatever new products
this decade throws up, you’ll catch it first in New Malden.
