I am not affiliated with any company, no agendas.
Sharing my knowledge and elevating the standard of audiophile community to the next level: improve your hearing skills, be a better judge of audio gear, how to choose gear for your tastes and needs. Educating on different design principles, philosophies.
I have 10,000+ hours of experience in critical listening, equipment building, design, modification and tweaking.
I learned the tradition of the American old school of vacuum tube amplifier design. I design and build tube amplifiers, speakers, interconnects, speaker cables, power cords, tonearms and turntables and also modify CD players and DACs.
