ReliKCs Timbre
The Relikcs Timbre Stereo Console invites you to live in the moment. Whether the moment is hosting a dinner party for your closest friends, or enjoying a cup of coffee on Sunday morning with your love…
Pull your favorite album from the ample record storage, cue up the American-made belt-driven turntable, and let the Ortofon cartridge do the rest. Or if your hands are full, simply switch to Wi-Fi mode, and connect to Spotify Connect, Apple Airplay, Tidal, or other streaming services.
If you’re looking for an elegant and understated home-theater setup, the Timbre Stereo Console offers direct connection to TV’s, Blu-Ray Players, Gaming devices, and other digital audio sources. The Timbre Console also offers Bluetooth for those moments when you need quick and convenient connection.
Encased within the timeless cabinet are custom 3-way speakers, tuned with precision to produce an expansive soundstage with breathtaking clarity and depth. The experience is elevated by our in-house calibrated solid-state amplifier which ensures unparalleled audio fidelity and dynamic range.
Cabinet construction consists of solid-hardwood outer construction and base, finished in the Mid-Century finish technique featuring stain, vinyl sealer, toner, and lacquer coats. This is the very same technique that was used in the high quality production furniture from the 1950’s and 60’s.
Most of our design elements, such as the iconic curvature on the side panels and the arches in the legs, were there from the very beginning.
What started out as an idea, developed into our first prototype and eventually, became our first product.
Founder’s Edition
By the time we were ready to take deposits on our new project, before we even had a prototype, and with just a couple of sketches, design ideas and the experience we had gathered over the last few years retro-engineering old consoles, we wanted to build something special for the people who blindly believed in us and the project and thus, the Founder’s Edition was born.
The Founder’s Edition consisted of our first ten production units. For believing in us, these wonderful individuals received a number of complimentary upgrades to their Relikcs Timbre Console. A number of these clients ordered the Relikcs Timbre off of nothing more than our initial designer’s sketches. To signify this initial leap of faith, we etched “Founders Edition” on the turntable drawer along with the order number they were placed in. Somewhere out there Relikcs Timbre Founder’s Edition #1 lives on!
The Timbre Stereo console can be ordered in 3 unique hardwood options and 3 standard grill cloth options. With additional grill-cloth options are available as upgrades.
The 72” Timbre console is the perfect centerpiece for any living space, home theater, or lobby. The console offers ample vinyl storage behind solid-wood tambour sliding doors, a removeable component shelf, additional storage drawer, and removeable solid-wood framed grills with a 99% acoustically transparent grill cloth.
The Relikcs Furniture Timbre Stereo Console lineup is available in three wood varieties and two sizes:
Walnut, Sapele & White Oak; both available in a 72″ and a 48″ footprint.
All equipped with the same standard equipment, including a high power solid state amplifier, high fidelity custom tuned speakers and a state-of-the-art hand-assembled, “Made in the USA” record player, packed with Spotify Connect, Apple Airplay, Bluetooth and an optical-in compatible with most TV’s.
Heirloom quality, sustainability and pride built into each of our products.
Quality
Solid woods, local craftsmanship, curated components.
- Using solid woods in every surface that’ll ever be touched keeps the Timbre structurally sound, easy to maintain and longer lasting than some of the best stereo consoles built.
- Every component we use is carefully picked, tested and calibrated to perform to outstanding standards.
- All of our speakers are tuned using a professional calibration microphone and computer software to determine the best performance and achieving our house curve – which is aimed to be as true to the source music as possible, offering a simple EQ for the end user to adjust to their personal liking.
Sustainability
Keeping our vendors and providers close, and our assembly closer.
- Always doing our best to keep our materials local, our consoles are pridefully built in Clinton, MO.
- Quality and performance are key, but it didn’t hurt that our favorite record player is hand made in the USA and then assembled into our custom plinth in our own facility.
- Custom everything is the name of the game. A lot of components that go into building a retro-feeling stereo like the Timbre are no longer made, therefore, naturally, had to be custom made. From the power switch and knobs to the wiring harness.
Customization
Make the Relikcs Timbre your own.
- The Timbre is offered in three wood species:
- Walnut
- Sapele
- White Oak
- And both in a 72″ and a 48″ width option. Both sizes offering the exact same components and performance.
- Offering a wide variety of speaker grill cloth options, all USA made and 99% acoustically transparent, our customers are spoiled for choice.
- Several upgrades are made available including a custom under-platter light that makes your turntable glow when in use, to presence sensing courtesy lights in the storage compartment(s).
- Cartridge and Styli upgrades from Ortofon. Our Timbre Stereo Console comes with the excellent Ortofon 2M Red, but we offer compelling prices for upgrading to the 2M Blue and even the exclusive Ortofon LVB.
