  • re-upped my Stereophile subscription about 5 weeks ago and my first copy just arrived in the mail today, I did go a few years without, and I really missed it.

    Evidently, even younger folks like myself (August 1948) are able to fully enjoy this wonderful discussion..thanks to you both! I really enjoyed it. ;)

    Thank you for a very interesting interview. You are right that everything matters when it comes to how something sounds. In my mind it's important to realize about how much each part affects the sound and then decide how far down the hole you can afford to go both from a monetary and the commitment of time it takes to follow all that paths involved. In my own mind you have to get the interaction between your speakers and your room right before getting deep into other aspects. This means if you change either the speaker or the room you have to go back and get those two working together as well as you can.
  • Its a great conversation, these types of conversations lead to the growth of manufacturing industry and reflect the real content of the entrepreneur .
  • This is a treat for me being an audiophile , the head of ps audio and Mr stereo review himself. Very articulate , very knowledgeable and to top it off , 2 nice people. 👍👍

    Listening in 2021 I can confirm your forecast that you'll ship in 2019 was aspirational :)
  • @kevinsmith8328
    Excellent insight of your company and goals. This was inspiring to watch and listen to a company that started in 1974 and grew to what they are now. I hope continued success.

    You now the 2 guys from the Muppet show? Well, this might look like that, but I found it very interesting and enjoyable to watch. At almost 70 years old they both have so much enthousiasm and passion for music and audio equipment. And the way PS Audio is using all the media to reach their audience is an example to the industry.
  • Brilliant interview! Thanks a lot to Paul and John! :-) Regarding programmable DSP's: they are a brilliant solution. You can fine tune them without limitation (provided you have engineered enough headroom). Of course, it's more expedient to use ready made chips. And other people are fascinated by resistor ladders. DSP is the intelligent, flexible solution.
