As prices and production costs had risen considerably since the turn of the century, it had long been Mike's desire to recapture that part of the budget market that his products had served so well. With this in mind he had set up an office in China in late 2004, to investigate the possibilities of manufacturing in that country. With his own staff in place, extensive research was undertaken and an allegiance was formed with one of the country's specialist high quality manufacturers. With extensive Creek input into the designs and Creek's own Q.C. staff on hand to oversee production, the Evolution amplifier and CD player were released in early 2006. An FM/AM tuner soon followed. With this exciting new range Mike had been able to release the products at prices to match the 43 series which had been discontinued in 2003. Evolution has gone on to capture many awards in many of Creek's international markets.As a direct consequence of the acceptance and extraordinary success of both the Destiny and Evolution ranges, demand for Creek's Classic products started to wane. Production of this series was therefore discontinued in 2007/08. Creek remained true to the 2 channel market, not being tempted to venture into multi channel. As a consequence it was inevitable that Mike would develop a turntable. He had long held the view that vinyl reproduction is important to Hi-Fi reproduction. As his company had produced a popular range of affordable, stand-alone phono stages able to extract high-quality signals from vinyl discs, it was logical that a turntable would follow. Named in memory of his late father's company Wyndsor Recording, Creek's Wyndsor turntable was released in 2007.In 2008 the budged priced OBH 11 headphone amplifier was re-introduced to satisfying growing demand for a lower priced quality headphone amplifier. 2009 saw the Evolution 2 amplifier and CD released to replace the original models.
