My journey with music and audio began in 1960, in the most unexpected place — my mother’s kitchen. At twelve years old, while singing in the church choir, I discovered a deep connection with music. I knew I might never become the next Hank B. Marvin, but it didn’t matter — I was hooked.
When my mother was at work, her cleaning bowls became my drum kit, and her knitting needles were my drumsticks. I spent hours creating rhythms — first chaotic, then more harmonious. In those early experiments sparked a lifelong passion for sound, laying the foundation for what would later become known as Perkune Audiophile Cables. (A cable company in Lithuania)
Discovering guitar
The next chapter began with my father’s acoustic guitar. One day it appeared from under his bed, along with a Bert Weedon “Play in a Day” book. From that moment, I was captivated. I became a devoted fan of The Shadows and I practiced relentlessly, trying to capture Hank B. Marvin’s distinctive sound.
I even built my first electric guitar at school, which led to forming a small musical group. Our lineup was unconventional: the Deputy Headmaster playing drums, the fitness instructor on rhythm guitar, the drama master on bass, and myself on lead guitar. Together, we honed our skills and eventually performed at the school concert.
Musical Growth
After finishing school, I served a four-year apprenticeship in Instrumentation and Electrical Engineering, perfectly aligning with my interest in music equipment. I continued playing guitar but later switched to bass, eventually forming a band called Staircase, because we were “on the way up.”
Our sound grew heavier, and we built a loyal following. We performed for more than a year with keyboards, drums, and bass. Along the way, I met legendary artists such as Eric Clapton and Gary Moore, and even played alongside bands like The Pretty Things and The Sex Pistols. These moments taught me the power of live music and the importance of precision in sound.
Orange Music
During this time, I became a loyal customer of Orange Music. I owned one of the very first MattAmp heads and 4×12 cabinets, along with a Gibson Thunderbird bass. I also became friends with Cliff Cooper, founder of Orange Music, whose knowledge and passion for audio further deepened my appreciation for high-quality equipment. This period cemented my belief that truly great sound requires equally great gear — a belief that would guide me later when designing handmade audiophile cables.
Cable Experiments
In 2015, when the oil and gas industry slowed down, I found myself with more time to explore another passion: high-end audio systems. Living in Vilnius, Lithuania, I connected with a group of doctors who were as obsessed with sound as I was.
When I demonstrated my system, they were impressed by the depth and clarity it produced. And, that same year, I began experimenting with loudspeaker cables, interconnect cables, and power cables. After countless trials, I discovered a new technique enabling so many remarkable performance improvements.
A very good friend (who was a head doctor) told me: “Paul, every audiophile needs to know about your cables.” And, encouraged by his advice, I decided to launch Perkune Audiophile Cables in October 2015 — sharing my passion with fellow music lovers worldwide.
Commitment
Every listener perceives sound differently, and I respect that. My mission is not to convince anyone, but to craft cables that bring out the very best in music. I source premium audiophile-grade materials, follow time-tested practices, and ensure every cable — whether power cable, interconnect, or loudspeaker cable — are made carefully in Lithuania.
Customer satisfaction is central to my work, and reading every feedback from every client worldwide is one of the greatest rewards of this journey. Every Perkune cable is designed to let you hear music in full — with depth, clarity, and emotion.
Looking Forward
Since 2015, Perkune has grown steadily, enhancing audio systems for listeners across the globe. With new amplifiers, loudspeakers, and turntables entering the market every year, I’m excited by the opportunities to continue innovating and improving the listening experience.
For anyone seeking high-quality audiophile cables in Lithuania and beyond, Perkune remains committed to offering cables that unlock the true potential of your system.
