The Perfect Sound: A Memoir in Stereo
20 Ratings
Garrett Hongo's love of music began when his father set up an Empire 398 turntable and a Dynakit tube amplifier in their modest Los Angeles tract house in the early 1960s. However, his quest for the perfect speakers and amplifiers to match the highest notes of the best opera sopranos started in the CD-changing age. Recounting this quest, he paints a picture of an identity journey in which music and its remarkably diverse delivery systems frequently provided him with the greatest opportunities for meaning, fulfillment, and even release.
