I was introduced to audio by my dorm mates at Lehigh University which led to a Dynaco/ Acoustic Research graduation present from my parents. I moved to Philadelphia for graduate school where I met Bud Fried(IMF & Fried speakers) at his offices after reading an invitation in his news letters. We got friendly and I got invited by Bud to a dinner where I met Gordon Holt((Stereophile) and we became friends. Through Gordon I met Murray Zeligman and we became life long friends. Mainly for himself(but check SEAS driver kits) Murray designed speakers and electronics, some quite exotic. Finally I met George Bischoff(Melos Electronics, Pipe Dreams speakers, Scaena speakers, etc.) at his retail store and became lifelong pals. The re have been others, of course, but these four were my biggest mentors.
Who Were Your Mentors
I'm curious about who your audio mentors were, and how they influenced your audio journey and the system you pursued? Father, uncle, friend, sales dude, local manufacturer, other?
