Handcrafted Labs is a Ukrainian high end audio company known worldwide for their tube equipment. Their bestseller devices such as Varis and Thermos can be found in numerous studios around the globe. Sergey Rakovich and Gennadii Burzak started their company over twenty years ago in Ukraine, Kiev and since the occupation of Crimea in 2014 they have relocated their business to more stable grounds.

Gennadii has worked in world class classical studios in Kiev as a main technician and his passion shows in every wiring he does. Point to point old school soldering combined with innovative ways to approach the modern needs of engineers.

“I’ve worked with Handcrafted Labs equipment since 2008, when my colleague Mats Takila introduced me to them at my first studio. Their gear has been always up to par (and beyond) with the best tube devices available. HCL’s sonic fingerprint and Gena’s innovative topology always excels at the highest level of engineering. We share a long history together, but first and foremost it’s based on sound and engineering quality.” - Tommi
