Jay Frank
Jay was one of the first proponents of multi-channel surround sound during the early Seventies. After writing numerous articles on quadraphonic sound, he boldly predicted that multi-channel audio would someday be used with video for in-home use. Evolution was first conceived during these early years and garnered many members from around the globe. He pioneered the first laserdisc video store that specialized in high-end sound and front screen projection systems. With an extensive film background, Jay is a good source for answering film questions, software questions and locating out-of-print laserdiscs. When he's not at work (and sometimes when he is), Jay enjoys running. He has participated in numerous events from 10k's to full Marathons.

John Guidi
John's has the "golden ear" affliction. If you need precise information concerning state-of-the-art-sound, no one is better qualified to provide this information than John.

Not only has he an amazing ability to recommend the best equipment in each price category, but can also guide you through the maze of cabling and interconnects that will be needed for each individual component or entire systems.
Over the years John's clients have respected his opinion and appreciate his concern and desire to detail.
