I sold out of the IT business is 2001 and ended up working for a small company providing custom applications and services mainly for hedge funds. Speakers included the Theil CS1.5, Von Schweikert VR3, Odeon 66s, Cain & Cain Abbys, Auditorium 23 Solovox, and the DeVore Super 8. Some of the gear I owned in the past includes the Nelson Pass-designed Threshold SA3/FET10 pre/power combo, the Melos SHA Gold preamp, SimAudio Celeste W-4070s, NAD 3020 a much-loved Sun Audio SV-300BE amplifiers, and a number of SETs from Don Garber at Fi. All of this time I had hi-fi's everywhere I called home and lots of music always playing. IT remained my profession for over 20 years. I moved to NYC after college where I worked as an IT consultant, then as an IT consulting company owner, listening to music and painting at night and on weekends. I ended up getting my BA in fine arts from Bennington College in Vermont after flirting with philosophy and film. As I grew up, my main interests were art and music, while the first album I bought with my own money was The Jimi Hendrix Experience Are You Experienced. MICHAEL LAVORGNA: My father was an audiophile and I inherited his joy in music and hi-fi. WOJCIECH PACUŁA: Michael, tell us about yourself, please, and how you have reached the point where you are now. This time we have asked Michael Lavorgna, the Editor-in-Chief of “AudioStream”, to tell us a few words about himself and his work. It is a real empire that attracts the majority of those Internet users who are interested in audio and visual perception.Īs regards the “Stereophile” family, I have already had an occasion to meet and talk to Michael Fremer, Stephen Mejias, John Marks who has recently started working on his own, as well as Art Dudley who became the Vice-Editor-in-Chief some time ago. The latter ones include the “Analog Planet” magazine devoted to turntable technology and intended for headphone maniacs, prepared by Michael Fremer who also writes articles for “Streophile”, Tyll Hertsens’s “InnerFidelity”, “Sound and Vision” related to the domain of home cinema, the photography magazine “Shutterburg”, as well as the “AudioStream” magazine for fans of digital audio. I really admire the far-sightedness that resulted in decisions to transform the website of a print magazine into a portal for both “Stereophile” and other magazines that are only published online.

Especially the latter one, or rather its publishers, have made an effort to move smoothly from Guttenberg’s invention to the virtual world.

Both of them are American magazines – “The Absolute Sound” and “Stereophile”. Without getting into detail, it is necessary to pay attention to two magazines that combine the two media very well. Please read carefully through their answers regarding the relationship between print and the Internet, and you will be able to mark a clear border between these two worlds, between two groups of interlocutors – one claiming that print is above the Internet and the other saying that it is exactly the opposite. You can use the same categorization to divide my interlocutors into those who work for print magazines, online magazines and those who have moved from the former to the latter medium. F you return to previous interviews with journalists that I have conducted as part of “The Editors” series, you will find out that they represent both print and online magazines, as well as those that used to be printed and now are published on the Internet.
