James (Jim) Thiel - Thiel Audio
A person I would like to thank/mention in the history of the high end,
Many would think of Henry Kloss, Saul Marantz and many other people that have added much to the wonderful world of great audio equipment. A person that has had much impact on several systems I have owned and enjoyed is Nelson Pass. So a tip of the glass of holiday cheer to you, Mr. Pass.....thanks.

I was a sophomore in college when I first discovered these college students' budget friendly speakers. Almost 50 years later, I'm still changing things up in the pursuit of affordable lifelike sound. |

BUT my amplifier designer, beginning with high quality transformer, Mr. Sansui was.....😁 «The company was founded in Tokyo in 1947 by Kosaku Kikuchi, who had worked for a radio parts distributor in Tokyo before and during World War II. Due to the poor quality of radio parts Kikuchi had to deal with, he decided to start his private radio part manufacturer facility in December 1944 in Yoyogi, Tokyo. He picked transformers as his initial product line. Kikuchi’s thought was "Even with higher prices, let’s make the higher quality of products.» WIKI. |
