Still Listening: A Hi-Fi Memoir

From the junkyard speakers of a noisy working-class house to the reel-to-reel rabbit hole of retirement, this warm and honest memoir follows one man's lifelong chase for better sound. Born in 1964 into a family of seven kids, he built his first "stereo" from scavenged car speakers, stared at a turntable needle photo in High Fidelity magazine until he had it memorized, watched dads solder Heathkits in basements, and later blew Navy paychecks on Yamaha receivers and Infinity speakers. Through vinyl, cassettes, CDs, and finally back to open-reel tape, he never settled for "good enough." A love letter to analog audio and the stubborn refusal to accept mediocre sound, Still Listening reminds us that the quest for audio heaven isn't about specs - it's about the feeling that still matters most.
