Simon Byles, Proprietor
Simon Byles is the sole owner of Infidelity, a business that is both his brainchild and his passion.
It all started at Kings College where Simon completed his BSc in Physics and acoustics. From here the audiovisual world beckoned and Simon joined Grahams hi-fi where he learnt the workings of the specialist hi-fi industry before spending a short while with the fledgling Sound Organisation shop in London.
The next move was to Rega Research where Simon worked closely with Roy Gandy, Rega’s well-known owner and the select number of UK and overseas dealers to expand the business.
Now this is where it gets a little confusing because Simon moved on from Rega to take a well-considered career break and left for the Alps to work as a ski guide for a couple of seasons. On his return he headed for Sound Organisation. Here he helped develop many audiophile hi-fi supports and open the odd shop…then back to Rega to develop the company and take on the responsibility of launching their loudspeaker and electronics manufacturing facility…
After all that Simon was not one to rest on his laurels and found a new thought occupying his mind…that thought was his passion…
…and his passion was Infidelity.
