AudiophileSound aims to be an objective voice in the audio community that helps the music lover to become an audiophile and the audiophile to have the best musical experience from a given budget.

My Story

Since my teenage years, I was always interested in quality sound reproduction. While in high school I built my first Power Amplifier, 10 watts/channel solid state, class AB. I then built the famous Quad 405 (100 watts/channel current dumping amplifier) and enjoyed it for many years. Of course these were hand-made and I typically used equivalent or better parts. My focus now is on off-the-shelf systems that require the least amount of set-up or tinkering.

My work experience includes Professional and Consumer Audio, Biomedical Instrumentation, Telecommunications and Software. I have a Bachelor of Engineering (electronics) degree. Audio continues to be my number one hobby.

My current music system is very modest, consisting of the following:

- Philips 212 Turntable.

- Mac Mini with Amarra HiFi and iTunes for HD Audio playback

- Arcam rDAC via USB to the Mac Mini (96 kHz @ 24 bit)

- Musical Fidelity A3 CD

- Bryston B-60 SST Amplifier with Moving Magnet Phono input

- Linn Ninka Speakers

Of course, as any audiophile knows, a music system is never perfect and so I expect to revise this on an on-going basis. Happy travels...

First Curve: Flexible and Modern - Although we appreciate old technology, we are not bounded by it.

Straight line: Fact based - Objectivity trumps subjectivity. No “DAC with a dancer’s timing” comments here. This was a real quote from a popular Audiophile magazine reviewing a Digital to Analog Converter.

Last Curve: Start of a sine wave - With all the technological changes, our ears are still analog organs, therefore what really matters is what we hear not necessarily the technology behind it.
