About Stranger High Fidelity

Where Music Begins—and Comes Home

Founded by Cameron Jenkins, a world-class producer, recording engineer, and label owner, Stranger High Fidelity is the culmination of over three decades dedicated to the art of sound. With a career spanning iconic artists like The Verve, John Cale, Everything But The Girl, The Charlatans, Lemon Jelly, and Badly Drawn Boy, and collaborations with studio legends such as Phil Ramone, Terry Britten, and Robin Millar, Cameron brings unparalleled insight to how music is truly made – and how it should be heard. Stranger High Fidelity is the latest step in a journey that’s always been about one thing: emotional connection through sound.

From Studio to System

Cameron’s career trajectory has not always been orthodox. Eyebrows were raised when, shortly after engineering and co-producing The Verve’s number 1 comeback album ‘Forth’, he stepped back from the studio world and founded a record label, Stranger Records. Within a very short time he had released ‘Video Games’ the debut single of Lana Del Rey.

Years later, Stranger High Fidelity emerged not from restlessness but from a profound passion for playback. This venture was born from a need to bridge a puzzling divide between the professional recording world and audiophile culture. Why should there be a disconnect between how music is created and how it’s experienced at home? On one side, the artist strives to convey their vision through the recorded medium; on the other, the audiophile seeks to replicate that work with utmost fidelity. This synergy is, quite simply, logical.

At Stranger High Fidelity, we build high-end audio systems that honour the artistry of recorded music. It’s not about spec sheets or dogma—it’s about systems that stir your soul. We don’t just sell equipment—we design and build bespoke hi-fi systems that accurately reflect how music was meant to be heard. From analogue turntables to cutting-edge digital streaming solutions, we meticulously tailor every setup to the listener and their unique listening environment.

A Listening Experience, Not a Shop

Based in a period home on the northern slopes of Bath, Stranger High Fidelity isn’t a shop in the traditional sense. It’s a curated listening space, open by appointment only. Think of it as a high-fidelity atelier: bespoke, immersive, and intensely personal.

Beyond system sales, we also offer:

  • Home audio consultancy
  • Room acoustics design and treatment
  • DSP solutions
  • Design for dedicated music and cinema spaces

This comprehensive approach is part of our unwavering goal: to bring music home, as close as possible to the artist’s original intention—and to ignite your deepest emotional response.
