about cyrus
Cyrus has been engineering electronics in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire since the mid-1980s, when the original Cyrus One integrated amplifier launched in 1984. Four decades on, the brand remains identified with its distinctive half-width die-cast chassis and a system-building philosophy where separate boxes — amplifiers, DACs, CD transports, streamers, and outboard power supplies — stack into a coherent British hi-fi system rather than functioning as standalone one-offs. The current line spans the XR series amplifiers and the 6vs integrated, the CDi-XR CD player, the Phono Signature phono stage with its dedicated PSX-R2 power supply, and the Lyric 09 all-in-one streaming system. The outboard-power-supply upgrade path, a long-running Cyrus signature, lets a component be improved without replacement — a deliberate counter to disposable consumer electronics. In the US, Cyrus is back with an active presence after periods of patchy availability, now selling direct through shopcyrusaudio.com, its official US shop. That makes it a recognizable second-tier British import that American buyers can actually purchase and support. Its press record is solid: Stereophile has reviewed the CDi-XR, Phono Signature, Lyric 09, and 6vs, among others. Cyrus competes with other British electronics houses in the mid-to-upper integrated and streaming tiers, where the half-width form factor and upgrade-via-power-supply approach are the differentiators. All design and engineering are done in the UK.
