But, one night I was going grocery shopping and decided to load MOG onto my iPhone and listen while I was out. I had no interest in mp3 andĭidn't take any of the streaming services seriously.
QOBUZ REVIEWS FULL
At that time, I was all about ripping and streaming my collection in full WAV from a hard drive. In ~2009, I was introduced to a company called MOG. When did you first know that streaming would be a factor in high-end audio?Ī. It was a perfect piece for the times and a couple of years later, we made the cover of Stereophile and won budget product of the year.
You'll find a DAC built-in w proper digital inputs. Peachtree Audio had a profound effect on the industry and if you look around at most any integrated amp these days, Our rooms were constantly packed at trade shows with interested dealers and almost every manufacturer coming in and studying the backside of the integrated amp. You'd connect to the coax input on the Decco. The Peachtree Decco in 2007 had a slot for a Sonos ZP90 (Connect). Everyone was selling Sonos but wanted to improve the performance. Peachtree became an instant success and for the next few years, was available in almost every reputable shop in America. Thisĭoesn't sound innovative in today's climate, but when we came out with this product, it received a lot of great reviews and big attention. USB, coax and optical inputs were offered with a built-in DAC. We came out with an integrated amplifier that had only one analog input and many digital inputs. Even though most people only streamed mp3, it was easy for us to see that this technology would eventually catch up and surpass music listening in other formats.Įven with the emerging digital trends, every preamp and integrated amp had only analog inputs.Īfter three years of ramp-up, Peachtree Audio was born. Sonos and Slim Devices had started selling units that you could stream full resolution music on. In the early 2000s, it had become obvious that digital audio was taking over and only the turntable would survive in the analog world. It was such a large hole and we were very surprised that no one was seeing it. My partner and I saw a need that wasn't being filled. When did you decide to start Peachtree Audio?Ī. I've enjoyed my years in this wonderful industry. Wasn't a great plan at the time, but the audio industry has been good to me and In 1979, I went to work for a HiFi Buys in Atlanta just so I could get a good one. Everyone wanted a sound-good system in those days. I'd never heard music so sweet and I wanted one… I wasn't alone. Mostly through friends with older sibs coming back from military service in Europe.
How did you first get introduced to high-fidelity audio gear?Ī. At 16, I bought a Yamaha acoustic and a fake Les Paul w a Custom PA and Big Muff. At 12, I worked all summer and bought a drum kit and would play the rest of my life.
I've now played and mixed music since my early teens and that love affair has been the most constant force throughout my life. That exact same sound will be in my family till the J45 turns to dust. I was gifted this special guitar when she passed away. I knew at an early age that I wanted to be around this forever. Every chord she made and every string she plucked was magic. Probably on our front porch listening to my aunt playing her Gibson J45 when I was very young. What is your first memory of falling in love with music?Ī.
