I started an engineering degree at uni in 1974 and the design lecturer was a hifi nut. We designed turntables and speakers as projects etc. I was a part time DJ and the two things combined to become a near obsession. I remember he took me to a presentation of Klipsch speakers with he loved and I hated, I thought my Wharfedale Denton's (made from parts) sounded much better. To this day I always go and listen to any new Klipsch hoping that I will like them but never do. I built my own Garrard 401 plinth and mounted an SME arm together with many other projects, I am now constructing large bass traps (1.5 x 1.0 x .5 m thick ) in my dedicated music room? He has a lot to answer for?
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?
