Simon Byles

Simon is the sole owner of Infidelity, a business that is both his brainchild & 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.

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 back to Grahams to help design and build their then new shop in Canonbury Yard and then back to Rega to 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 challenge occupying his mind…to design, develop and run his own specialist business – Infidelity.

Having worked on a project-by-project basis for many years it now seems amazing to him that he has been working on, and in this one for some 33 years.

During this time Simon took up a role as deputy chair and latterly chair of the BADA – the British Audio Dealers Association and Clarity trade associations.
