Twenty years of active traveling through the unique world of high-end audio has led me to know many brands, people, and objects of both rejoice and sometimes sorrow. All these experiences have unmistakably shaped my vivid perception about audio, music, high-end industry and manufacturing. It is my goal and passion to listen to, review, and reveal great and carefully engineered high end audio products.
Most of our daily readers are audiophiles, audio connoisseurs, manufacturers, distributors, dealers, music lovers, and owners of high-end audio components. These individuals and companies not only recognize and respect real artisans and experts of the audio industry, they're also willing to spend and invest their respected money for high quality audio products in one way or another.
There are still people who trust in the knowledge, efforts, and heritage of high end audio manufacturers. High-end audio is becoming more and more personal with a strong connection developing between customers, distributors, dealers and manufacturers. Honest customer service, quality products, and satisfied music lovers are the real keys opening the doors to high-end society’s mutual existence and satisfaction, now and in the future.
As a devoted fan of music and high-end components, I'm in a constant search for unique audio instruments that speak back to us naturally and cherish the unique world of music. In my audio quest, I'm striving to reveal those products that convey music with the highest impact of its coherent, natural impression regardless of price.
After years of listening and testing a large number of audio components that have passed through my listening systems and rooms, I dare conclude that only those who profoundly love, respect, and know music by heart strive for the absence of a specific sound imprint and try to balance natural, transparent, and realistic sound in their audio products.
It's always a joy to find such exemplary products and discover the people behind them.
At the end of the day, audio/music reproduction goal truly is quite simple. Duke Ellington's famous quote sums it up beautifully: "If it sounds good, it's good!”

Happy reading and listening.
Thank you!
