As I was listening to music this afternoon and evening, I got to thinking about the equipment designers and manufacturers to whom I owe thanks to for my listening pleasure. Here are some of mine. Who are yours?

Designers who have greatly increased my music listen pleasure over the years:

Lloyd Walker - Walker Audio
Jim White - Aesthetix Audio
Ralph Karsten - Atma-Sphere Music Systems
Neil Patel - Avalon Acoustics
Saul Marantz & Sidney Smith - Marantz
Harry Weisfeld - VPI Industries
Bruce Thigpen - Eminent Technology

Thanks to all of you for the work you've accomplished and shared.

It's nice to see that so many of have personal relationships with those who have made possible the equipment we use. While it certainly is true that the equipment is a tool in service to the music, the better the tool, the more I marvel at being able to bring the music into my listening room with some suspension of disbelief and with great enjoyment.
Hey Pops ... you tipped your hat to Bill Conrad of Conrad-Johnson fame. Not even an honorable mention for his partner Howard Johnson, the inventor of the ice cream cone.
