About Me

My journey into hi‑fi began in the mid‑1990s when I turned a passion for DJing into a career helping people hear more. Over the years, I’ve worked with everything from humble bookshelf speakers to six‑figure systems. These days, you’ll find me on our showroom floor, listening closely to what customers want and sharing what I’ve learned along the way. There’s no greater reward than the look on someone’s face when their new system makes their old favourites sound brand new.

My Approach

When someone walks in and isn’t sure where to start, I ask two questions: what kind of music moves you, and what does your space look like? Whether it’s jazz in a cozy apartment or techno in a cavernous loft, understanding a customer’s taste and room helps me tailor the right solution. I don’t believe in one‑size‑fits‑all; my job is to match your vibe to the gear that will let you feel every note.

A Memorable Setup

One of the most unusual projects I worked on was for a heavy mechanic who only listened to music on headphones—and always maxed out the volume. Nothing he bought in the past ever satisfied him. Together, we assembled what is probably the world’s most powerful headphone system. It was loud enough to “melt your brain,” as he put it, but it gave him the energy he was craving. I’ll never forget the sheer joy on his face when he finally reached the volume he’d been chasing for years.
