Mike is such an incredible ambassador for high end audio. Mike is so generous with his time and wisdom. I am fortunate to have been welcomed to Mike's barn numerous times over the years. No matter how great it has sounded (and it always sounds amazing) Mike keeps working on making it sound better. That same focus on detail and continuous improvement is why Mike had an incredible career in the automobile business. Mike's friendship and guidance have played an integral part in my hi-fi journey.
