Michael studied Mechanical Engineering in the UK and works for a Telecommunications company.

He has been involved in High End Audio for 12 years when he bought his first system.

He has owned many high end speakers including Kharma 3.2, Verity Sarastro, high end electronics varying from OTL, push pull, SET designs and SOTA sources like Weiss Medea, EMM LABS, Orpheus.

He has finally found his personal Nirvana in a complete solid state system with amplification made by the German firm "Sovereign" accompanied by the incredible Tidal Piano Cera speakers and a state of the art Digital to Analog Converter the Stylos SYS HAD. It is a technologically advanced system using only a MacBook Pro and Sonic Studio Amarra as a source.

His motto is that we should listen only what exists in the source material with no additions or deductions from the sound system, Definetely a "monitor" oriented philosophy.
