HI-END AUDIO, A Fresh Approach!

[@Unpreeeedictable]

Great tour Steve. Love how Devon does his own thing. What the haters don’t get is that he’s positioning the hobby as part of a bigger cultural and community aesthetic.

[@razisn]

lol lol

[@rocketbrothers540]

Hell yeah!

[@OnTheEllipse79]

There are haters? This is fun. Normal run of the mill hi fi shop? They’re fine but this is like an amusement park.

[@generalcurtis3lemay180]

The JBL 2405 super tweeter is 105dB SPL and it's a Disco type speaker but the Radio Shack Realistic 40-1377 Dual Radial Horn Tweeter Speaker is only 92dB SPL and a Japanese parallel to the 2405, ideally suited to mass market people with Japanese toned amplifiers.

[@twostepped999]

Is that not apparent? I feel like people ‘get it’

[@azoique]

Some may call it or dismiss it as being "hipster" but i absolute love what Devon is doing. Big, efficient speakers, horns and tubes is nothing new. But there's a whole new generation of speaker builders and enthusiasts being made from his exposure of this nerdy area of audio equipment and music.

[@erics.4113]

I do want to recoil at the hipster element to this, but his setups look awesome and I'm jealous of the stuff he's building 😊

[@iampryso9548]

Steve, this was fun, so thanks to Devon. His discussion at the end about his workshops reminded me how that is typically missing in the US. Back in the '70s we had a hi-end store in San Diego, Audio Directions. They had a secondary business, Audio Dimensions, which offered modifications, kits, and parts. They included workshops on Saturdays to assemble their modifications or kits under supervision. That eliminated any fears for messing it up. But that seemed to be near the end of interest in kits in the US so very little has been available since then.

[@LinearTubeAudio]

Devon’s focus on community and knowledge of hifi history is inspiring. We’re honored to collaborate with him and proud of the results!

[@devonojas]

Thank you so much Steve! It's always such a fun time! Looking forward to my other ramble about the Japanese audio scene coming soon.

[@darksl1de]

I’m so Happy that you’re doing all these features/interviews with Devon. I’ve personally been into audio since my early teens, but for the past few years Devon has really revitalized my passion for Hi-Fi. I’ve been really inspired by his by his DIY ingenuity and his sense of aesthetics. And the co-signs he’s received by respected long time-figures in the industry just shows that his ideas really work, (for someone who can’t listen in person). And by sharing his knowledge, and providing his know-how, he’s making a great listening experience achievable by an ordinary guy like me, And *that* has really invigorated my interest again. And I’ve just been soaking up the wealth of information that he’s shared through your videos, and his instagram. So I want to thank you both Steve and Devon, for taking the time, and being so generous with your experience and knowledge. Cheers from Denmark :).

[@generalcurtis3lemay180]

Denmark yeah Denmark you know? Well there's an American song that y'all can check out. It's called "I've Been Working On The Railroad" and it's sung to the tune of "The Eyes Of Texas" ... which back in the age of tubes was a popular Swing melody (and Harvard University does a Swing video on You Tube just to explain the genre). "I’ve been working on the railroad, All the live-long day. I’ve been working on the railroad, Just to pass the time away. Do you hear the whistle blowing? Rise up so early in the morn! Do you hear the captain calling, “Dinah blow your horn”? " Well we got Devon blowing his horn instead ... actually his replica Western Electric 12027 and this song is the anthem of the University of Texas at Austin, students there you know called undergraduate Longhorns. How about that? Horn speakers too are certainly popular in Texas but Radio Shack you know, isn't much liked on Steve's channel, and was based in Fort Worth back in the day.

[@trevorbartram5473]

As a DIYer of 50+ years, I hope Devon is a good business man. While I dislike modern audio jewelery, I'm unsure well heeled consumers are ready for his DIY esthetic. My biggest gripe is we've moved on from 'sounding board' turntables. Skeletal designs with well analyzed resonance control are the way forward. He should demo a Rega Planar 10 or Niai in his shop for comparison purposes. I hope you interview him again in a couple of years to gauge consumer acceptance!

[@rtflone]

They aren't giving away trips to Japan either. Devon is obviously doing alright for himself and that's terrific I'm delighted for him. His speaker projects really took me back to my early "audiophile" days when HiFi was a budding extension of sound systems used in theaters, auditoriums, and concert halls. Altec, Western Electric, and JB Lansing were the founders of the speaker industry while Saul Marantz, Avery Fisher, and HH Scott pioneered the electronics side of HiFi. An old trout I may be, but to me there's nothing like the dynamic presence of a large efficient speaker like the Altec A7 Voice of The Theater (or similar).

[@NosTubes58]

[@tmdillon1969]

As a speaker rehabber and builder, this is pretty inspiring. A bunch of ideas.

[@generalcurtis3lemay180]

The wooden plinth turntable using Technics 1200 G motors ... you know begs a mention of that other ... grey plinth rehabber's TT, the Logic DM-101 originally with its Datum-11, and later other ... you know ... Ortofon suited TT arms. Because even though middle America just loves Ortofon, they're a halfway house compared to Koetsu ... and Logic DM 101 were priced to compete with the Scottish Linn Sondek TT that it shares its suspension system with. Well Devon's TT has no suspension and it's wooden but Steve doesn't give negative reviews.

[@heinzr9734]

That was a wonderful tour, thank you both. I'm already looking forward to part 2. Besides all the great studio and audio equipment, I also saw Hibiki and Toki for a brief moment. But maybe that will come into play during your interview🙂 Joking aside, I really like the concept of your showroom, Devon. If the name didn't already exist, it would be the art of sound. I'm very excited about how you put a new light on the love for historical technology like horns, triodes, SPU etc. Not as a "fashionable" direction but as a historically synergistic sound world in a new aesthetic rediscovery and way of life. In my view, the connection to Japan fits in very harmoniously with this. Because there it is lived, celebrated and enjoyed in this way. Hence the close relationship between high end and DIY there. And with your workshop courses you are also going in this direction and opening it up to people who might otherwise never have come to DIY, just like very high-quality Japanese cooking courses do.

Great show Steve! Devon’s spaces always remind me of working art studios or workshops from the 80s when I was in art school. Very inspirational. I noticed something on the floor after the pre amp, it was a silver component, pretty sure it was a Topping D90 maybe SE DAC. For me it stood out when he seemed to ignore it. It’s funny to see some mass market/amazon chi-fi product in the middle of all that bespoke and amazing components. I wish he had commented on it.

I'm curious to know what it sounds like, and how the sound compares to early SET equipment, and also compared to say Decware stuff.

[@Fluterra]

Kind of funny that he is following Altec and Western Electric. If you know your early 1930s history, RCA was making the best speakers at the time. The RCA 1428/1443 was likely the finest midrange ever made.

[@mmeerdam]

Thanks for the interview. He is no doubt a knowledgeable (Japanese) hifi expert. Does he design circuits himself though, does he have to? I;m debating this internally. He seems very much mostly curating technologies, other experts knowledge, applying obscure experiments from the asian audio community. In this sense he is like for example Virgil, more of a creative director, curator, experience designer, with a very developed sense of aesthetics, feel and audio sense than a product focussed business. Part of which is a very branded image. Not being able to buy these products makes his custom work very valuable. These experiences are hype-machines, some club owners, miljnairs or high end retail will walk in and commission some very lucrative projects for sure.
