We started the business out of a love for the hobby while living in Seminole Florida. I had been an Audiophile for many years and had retired young in 1990. My wife noticed that I was spending a lot of money flying to different parts of the country to see and evaluate equipment not available in our area. She came to the conclusion that I would have more fun and probably make some money while toying with my hobby if I started an audio business.<br> <br> It has been 18 years now, and we continue to grow every year and continue to add some of the best and most prestigious lines in the industry. We are dedicated to carry only lines that we consider either State of the Art or a great value. We will never carry lines that directly compete against each other because we consider that an affront to the manufactures that support us. Every line that we carry is sonically very different from each other. We know that we cannot carry every line nor do we desire to be the retailer for every need that arises for the individual audiophile. Case in point we do no analogue nor home theater!</span> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt">The fact that audio is mysterious and magical in so many aspects is an inspiration! I am first and foremost an Audiophile and that has precedence over all business matters. Cables are a component that should not be overlooked, and we believe that a good portion of ones expense in their system should reflect the need for quality cabling. And we are definitive in our belief &quot;THAT IT ALL STARTS AT THE WALL&quot; Since the beginning, we have advocated the relevance of powercords and line conditioners - - years before their popularity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </span>Many audiophiles including reviewers and manufactures that once considered this outlook bizarre now refer to me when seeking advice on powercords!<br> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp;</span><br> Caelin Gabriel of Shunyata PowerSnake fame moved from Mendocino CA. to Port Orchard WA. when he decided to build audio products so that we could work together in laying the groundwork for his line. As a matter of fact, I was the person who suggested that he should make powercords first and then introduce his groundbreaking Hydra. Because of the time, we spent working together developing the line I was rewarded by being the exclusive dealer for his Shunyata Research line for 6 months while he began building a dealer network. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt">It is from these years of our friendship and association that has resulted in us having the exclusive in clearing out the discontinued Shunyata product lines. I have also been honored in having Shunyata resurrect my favorite Shunyata powercord the King Cobra V1 as an exclusive product line made for Weekend Environments. Realize this new King Cobra has all the wonderful romantic and sensuous attributes of the original cord, but it also has been improved by being faster and more dynamic.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt">We are even working together with Shunyata Research on another possible exclusive cord which we hope will be the finest powercord ever built. This cord may never be built for the masses since it will be very expensive but rather will be offered only upon request for friends and associates.</span></td> </tr> </table> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 10pt">&nbsp;</p> </body> </html>
