Yes — we actively encourage it. Familiar recordings are the fastest way to understand a system. Bring files on a USB drive, a streaming account, or even vinyl if you have a favourite pressing. We will play whatever you bring.

For casual browsing, no — you are welcome to drop in during opening hours. But if you want a focused listening session on a specific system, a short call the day before lets us warm up the room, set up the components and reserve uninterrupted time for you.

Yes. Actual Power is the authorised Turkish distributor for every brand we represent. Every product comes with full manufacturer warranty, genuine parts, and direct support from our service team in Istanbul.

Absolutely — this is one of the things we enjoy most. We will ask about your room, your musical taste, your existing gear and your budget, then propose a system that makes sense as a whole. There is no obligation and no fee for this consultation.

Not at the moment. Our showroom is purpose-built for accurate listening, and that controlled environment gives you a much better basis for comparison than a typical living room. Once you purchase a system, we handle delivery, installation and calibration in your home.

Yes. For every system we sell, we offer full delivery, installation, cable management and calibration. For room correction and acoustic treatment we can also recommend trusted partners we work with regularly.

We support every product we sell with service, firmware updates and repairs through our Istanbul team. For brands like Linn, upgrades from decades-old products to current specification are still possible and we handle the whole process.

With the right source component, absolutely. Lossless streaming services now deliver studio-master quality, and a well-designed network player can rival or exceed the performance of a top-tier CD transport. We are happy to demonstrate the differences side by side in our showroom.

In many cases, yes — especially if the unit is from a brand with a long product lifecycle such as Linn. Bring it in or send us the model details and we will tell you what is possible, from a cartridge swap to a full Karousel or Klimax-level upgrade.

Yes, we ship across Turkey with fully insured courier services for smaller items and white-glove delivery for larger systems. For installations outside Istanbul we can travel to calibrate the system on site.
