"As a by-product of my day-job I had the fantastic opportunity to welcome DS Audio CEO Tetsuaki Aoyagi (Aki-san) to my home. He popped round, from Japan, for a chat and to hear my hifi system which I use as reference for my work as a consultant in the hifi industry. It was an honour to have Aki-san visit my listening room, and to chat about old times: the birth and growth of DS Audio and their innovative optical phono cartridge system, and what's in store for the future.." - Dave Denyer (Consultant for Sound Foundations UK)
