I have been an audio enthusiast ever since early 90’s when I got an Akai/Bush boombox with a CD player and a video enthusiast soon after in 1992 when I got a Sony Dolby Prologic receiver and a stereo Hi-fi VCR with a 32” CRT TV. Evidently, I have come a long way from that point and during the journey I also began reviewing audio equipment as a professional reviewer for Internet based magazines, about a decade ago.

However, far from being just a gear head, I also thoroughly enjoy the listening aspect of this wonderful hobby with a diverse and eclectic taste in music, but with a predilection for 60’s Jazz. I find that there is no better relaxation after a long day like wallowing in a well recorded musical performance or watching an entertaining movie, in high definition. People always refer to the Golden age of Hi-fi as some time in the past, but for me, it is right here, right now and I plan to enjoy both music and movies for a long time to come.
