The Perfect Sound: A Memoir in Stereo

The book that contains a section on Kevin Deal and Upscale Audio!

Garrett Hongo’s memoir details the decades-long process of perfecting his stereo setup, during which he also discovers his own now-celebrated poetic voice.

His passion for audio began with the Empire 398 turntable his father paired with a Dynakit tube amplifier in their modest tract home in Los Angeles in the early 1960s. But his adult quest begins in the CD-changer era, as he seeks out speakers and amps both powerful and refined enough to honor the top notes of the greatest opera sopranos. In recounting this search, he describes a journey of identity where meaning, fulfillment, and even liberation were often most available to him through music and its astonishingly varied delivery systems.

During this search he found Upscale Audio and met our very own Kevin Deal, an encounter that has its own section in the book.
