Involved in audio since 1972, I have had the opportunity and pleasure of viewing the business from many different perspectives. My background includes record engineering, professional audio sales, recording studio design, acoustic consultation, service and repair plus retail sales (store owner since 1975). This broad range of experience has benefited me in terms of a more complete understanding of high-end audio in general, and more specifically, how to best serve your needs with qualified consultation and advice. Even more important than knowledge, is a commitment to honesty and fairness in my dealings with you. Recommendations are made only after a clear understanding of your goals - a concept often forgotten in today's world of audio ''mega-merchants." -Galen Carol
