HIGH-END AUDIO LTD., a retail store in Toronto, Canada, began operating on August 13, 1981, and it closed on October 21, 2001, after the most recent "Canadian Winter" had forced me to reevaluate my choice of living location.

I have since moved to Florida. My future there will not entail opening an audio store, but I would still like to make a crystal clear statement:

This is now a totally non-commercial site. If a new audio business becomes a reality one day, it will have its own independent website. At this time, I have made no commitment.

I have a number of very interesting and rare AUDIOPHILE records. I will be putting these records up for AUCTION sometime in 2005.

The store's remaining equipment, both demonstrators and trade-ins, was all shipped to Florida. The few components and accessories which are left are listed within their respective categories. Components I purchased for auditions are also now part of the mix.

I don't have the proper words to thank the many customers who have patronized this store during the last 20 years, despite its unusual location (a basement), its crude appearance and my uncompromising and direct manner.

Much, if not most, of what I have learned, was from our shared experiences, either in the store, or in the customers' homes. It is impossible for me to put a price on the knowledge and the experiences I have accumulated during this 20-year period. So, now I must say...
