He also writes a column for the website Soundstage UK, is the author of "Quad: The Closest Approach", "McIntosh … For The Love Of Music", and co-author of "Sound Bites" and "KEF: Innovators In Sound." In this conversation, Jay Jay & Ken do a deep dive into the current state of Hi-Fi. Both share their journeys of how they ended up getting into Hi-Fi audio, & how their relationship to Hi-Fi has changed over the years. Ken & Jay Jay both have 40+ years of personal experience in this field. If you're looking for audio advice, or are just curious about the world of high fidelity audio - these are the guys to listen to!
