Adam Worsfold - whY I BUILT A HIFI COMPANY ?
I keep my personal life and my business life separate . Health & mindset are my priorities. I am not a yes man and I have a very tight circle of " Friends . I consider money a tool for life's progress its not a god . I have voiced my opinion knowing it is part of the job , learning that many don't respect opinion . The saying below resonates with any entrepreneur or business owner that has to deal with the multitude of people interacting with social media, or engaging with a company . I respect customers that know life is always a mutual respect for people and their ideas .

ONIX AUDIO .. My life's journey is why ONIX AUDIO & OA21 make great amps
Here are a few highlights of an exceptional Journey
​
From 21 years old I co-designed all original ONIX AUDIO products - OA20-OA21- OA24- OA401 -OA601 -OA801 and the original ONIX AUDIO range. I was behind the case work and all production processes . Even if internet myth says other wise it was there. The production engineering was my task on all OA21 amps built since 1984, the ones known to the world for reliability and cosmetic excellence . I am really proud of that. I was responsible for the awesome finish of ONIX AUDIO products. being the sole owner of ONIX AUDIO from 1986 at as a "clean sheet designer" which means a whole product designer. 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 good . The worlds worst problem is - "Material Cost cutting " and bad design . China is the biggest culprit, of both - as they don't care, or worse they don't understand design & material integrity . We don't sell anything to China, they make MP3 players and we make real amplifiers that sound the way we know they should . Yes they all sound different.

Discover Adam Worsfold - the start of Hifi 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 so I needed a new challenge , it 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 dont look . Click here for Chinese lies & deception
