Adam Worsfold - Integral to onix - a great BRITISH HIFI COMPANY ?
My personal life and my business life are separate . Health and mindset strength is my priority I love animals, in particular cats, I feel they are genuine and I can relate to their independence. I have a very tight circle of " True Friends . I consider money a tool for life's progress. I don't worship it . I voice my opinion if I don't agree with something meaning often people don't respect opinion . It seems some go to extremes to challenge it . I accept people can live how they want, but don't force your ideas on me .
​
The saying above resonates with any true entrepreneur or business owner you only have to research how many attack me personally . People using social media thrive on gossip, In my opinion they have an empty life . I respect customers that show a mutual respect for others, Herd mentality does not work for me , and I live by the rules of free thinking for everyone . I love all types of engineering . I think so much engineering is so undervalued by so many . None more than our ONIX AUDIO DNA Ultimate and the years it has taken to perfect it . Value is often misunderstood just look at cell phones, they cost 20 to 40 USD to make yet people pay 1000s for them . Marketing at its best.
​
​​I don't like deceptive marketing created by companies that make the biggest profit from what you buy , it is very concerning generally, China thrives on fake adverts to sell inferior products that people are misled into buying . You pay for marketing in everything at least they should make it real . Customer's need to stay informed and never base your choice on what others are posting on social media for their own recognition , or money paid to them to promote it . Look at the motive not the hype .
Many have agreed with my principles over the years, meaning we have been making great amps that people love . It never bothers me that some despise my success - , Some might say its actually a compliment . Everyone must look behind the reasons people do attack others . If you let this noise get to you , then you are loosing the fight .
More than all of this this I listen to music , with the occasional Jack D to let go of all worries life brings . ONIX AUDIO is 1 of 1 and remains independent in the world of HiFi companies . We don't shout 'Look at me" why would we ? . ONIX AUDIO is for those that know why we do what we do . Its for you not for glory to impress others that comes from your health.
*Fact is the only way some can get noticed , is to criticize more successful others *
Here are a few highlights of "Adam Worsfold" and his exceptional Journey
​
From 21 years old after I qualified, I co-designed all original ONIX AUDIO products - OA20-OA21- OA24- OA401 -OA601 -OA801 and the original ONIX AUDIO range .
I was behind the aluminium case work and all production processes of ONIX AUDIO . The production engineering was my task on all ONIX OA21 amps built since 1984, The models that built ONIX AUDIO to a household name and now known to the world for reliability and cosmetic excellence . I am really proud of that.
I was responsible for the build integrity and awesome durability of ONIX AUDIO products like the OA21 and the OA22 being the sole owner of ONIX AUDIO from 1985. I am fortunate to be trained as a "clean sheet designer" which means I can design the whole product including the case work / electronics / and manufacture processes .This is very rare now. Material technology is one of my passions , naturally all ONIX AUDIO products are exceptional in this area, that's why they last so long and sound so musical . I use the right parts for the job .
I consider the worlds worst problem is - "Material Cost cutting " and inferior design . China is the biggest culprit, of both - China does not care, or worse they don't comprehend design & material integrity and cost cutting wins .
ONIX AUDIO does not sell anything to China, they make MP3 players and we make High Power Audio amplifiers that sound the way we know they should . Yes all amplifiers sound different. ALL

Discover Adam Worsfold - the start of great Life
After finishing my apprenticeship and gaining my electronic design qualifications, I started working at a service company as a bench engineer. My starting pay scale was the lowest they pay . . Within 2 years I had risen to a UK Troubleshooter & was one of the highest paid in a company of over 4000 People. I needed a new challenge and ONIX called me at only 21. Time to grow . I knew I had the passion and was ready to learn , so I quit my salaried job and went for it . I took the leap and made ONIX AUDIO happen. I made mistakes, after all who doesn't , and I made some great choices but I successfully put ONIX AUDIO and OA21 on the worldwide audio map . I built a brand and the company I defy anyone to prove otherwise .​
ONIX AUDIO 1986 - 1991
​
I grew ONIX AUDIO to a worldwide exporter ( 28 Countries ) of great UK made ONIX amps, in particular the OA21 . Within a year of its formation I had become the sole owner of ONIX AUDIO, and within 5 years I built and owned ONIX AUDIO to a £ 3 million a year company. I had registered the name ONIX in 1988 as a trade mark and I had become wealthy at just 27 years old. This was an exceptional achievement in anyone's eyes in the era it was done. I soon learned what this actually meant to my life in particular the downside. I learned that Jealously is very real , and most people try to pull you down rather than help you succeed, It hurts you in many ways, but its a lesson every single successful entrepreneur has to learn. It makes you hard and smart to people in your life .
​
ONIX AUDIO 1991
I sold ONIX AUDIO for a considerable sum when I felt the time was right , I was just 29 . Not long afterwards the sale contract of ONIX ELECTRONICS LTD was broken by the buyer ( Yes more life learning ) Consequently I entered a legal battle to recover my loss. I won this 12 years later, after tenacity with fight beyond anyone's expectation. This legal learning curve being my first real lesson in business, teaching me so much about money and how people will lie and cheat to get it. This was a life changing lesson for me . I welcome any questions about the history of ONIX AUDIO and you might ask our Ai red box in the corner it gathers from the whole internet not just us .
ONIX AUDIO 1991 - 2010
After the sale of ONIX AUDIO and while I was legally trying to recover my losses from the broken sale contract , I was caught for speeding while driving my Porsche - ( Yep my fault 100% ) - I was banned from driving for 6 months . I decided I needed to use this free time for progress , so I studied to become an "Microsoft Certified Professional" at an official Microsoft training center in London. I saw the future of computer opportunities , so I qualified and moved forward with a new project. leading to my computer company being formed .
The new company started making computers and installing networks. I quickly gained contracts with Sega games and British Airways to name just two. My company grew to a size I didn't anticipate or expect . I sold that company 4 years later for a large amount of money at 35, I left the UK and resided outside the UK/EU so as to legally keep a 100% of the sale proceeds . ( Paying 50% Capitol gains was not on my radar ) This is when I discovered Asia and my alternate home . After I fell in love with the culture, the place and the sun I left the UK and made Asia my other home . I now split my time between the UK the EU and my home in Asia, with the UK being a place to visit but no longer actually live .
ONIX AUDIO 2010
After winning the legal fight from the sale of ONIX and regaining legal title of the trade mark ONIX , I used my brand ONIX once again in 2010 to resurrect the original standards with new designs, we design & make our own products, so it was a challenge all these years later , but I did it and here we are today many years on . We make our own amps and they are the best you can buy ... most people just don't realize how good they are. We are small and I am still hands on. Exclusivity works for us . There is not a better product than one made with pride/passion and knowledge by those that make it, and design it . You are a person, never a number to me. I have sound at my core and you will too once you hear what we make . Our amps change your life with music and sound
​
I am a really unusual engineer in that I run my business with the needed knowledge and integrity to make it work, I am a communicator, business person, and an engineer - I love to be busy and work by choice . I live for personal freedom & achievement and despise corruption and zero-thinking people in today's world. I love everything well designed and engineered, and I dislike anything that is badly made or badly designed. I know China lies about spec of most of what they make , and it annoys me that buyers can't see it but worse don't look . Click here for examples of Chinese lies & deception
