My first memories are of Flamenco guitar, dance and song. I was brought up in a house of musical study. At four years of age I knew I would play guitar and at six began study in both performance and lutherie. The study of reproduction acoustics began at fifteen and by seventeen I worked in a record store and was building audio gear.

Where vintage and new technologies combine there are opportunities to evolve past convention. For several decades we built music systems privately for cognoscenti – music lovers – for whom music is not a luxury but a necessity – a first language.

Design philosophies are natural motion, efficiency, inductance, natural materials and finishes with harmonic proportion in both architecture and acoustics.

The challenge is to awaken life resident in recorded music, not to preserve artifacts or measurements, but to go beyond, to resurrect the actual life of the music and its makers.

Recorded music is anthropology in a bottle.

Humanity preserved.

Wake it up.
