MAG-LEV Audio story begins in the living room in the center of Ljubljana, capital of Slovenia.
In that living room three designers were listening to records on their turntable and thinking about their next project. Magic happened and an idea was born, an idea about the record player of the future. The nostalgic love of music was embedded in the core of the turntable. But the turntable itself was a bold vision of the times to come.
Meanwhile some engineers where sitting at a desk. They just finished the build of their second solar power plant and were also thinking of their next big project. They wanted to do something exciting, something where they will put to use, all of the knowledge they possess.
Both teams sat down one day to have a meeting and the rest is history.
