Greetings from The Audio Association

I met Ed at THE SHOW last year and purchased a darTZeel CTH 8550 MK II after an extended home demo. Ed’s enthusiasm, honesty and sincerity in our business relationship were outstanding. We had many phone calls and discussions about how to get everything “right” in my system. This was an aspirational piece of audio equipment for me and I’m very pleased with my purchase. Thanks Ed!

Welcome, Ed. Although I have never met Ed in person, I have dealt with him commercially and talked to him many times. He's a fantastic asset to this community. I'd wholeheartedly recommend him.

What can I say about Ed Sudario? How much time do you have? I will keep it this brief for anyone who is interested in high end audio, has a passion for good music, enjoys relationships made through the hobby, desires expertise and service and most of all desires the best that can be offered from music and audio - You need to know Ed. He is without a doubt the hardest working man in audio. Our hobby can be a very lax, laid back and yes, even a lazy exercise. However, Ed will accommodate you and work his tail off to supply you with whatever you need audio related. You will find someone who is knowledgeable but not pushy and who respects your desires and needs - not the other way around. This passion of ours is made that much greater because of dealers and people like Ed. Call him today, you won't be disappointed.
 
I never met Ed but since I owned Dartzeel and Evolution Acoustics MM2 and dealt with Jonathan Tinn for last decade I figured best to call THE AUDIO ASSOCIATION for a new streaming dac and media server. Ed suggested the Grimm Audio MU2. I purchased and Ed helped set up the Roon and Qobuz. The Grimm blew me away and is definitely one of the best. Ed also helped in contacting Herve Deletraz in getting a new remote replacement for the Dartzeel Nhb preamp model 2. They treat them like a gold bar. Thanks Ed
Hi there @fusion! So happy the MU2 is singing away and providing hours of musical enjoyment. I'm sure it's helpful to have that remote as well!

Enjoy!

Ed Sudario has become a good friend and audio mentor during the purchase of my Wave Kinetics NVS and Durand Tosca tonearm. His passion, patience and knowledge are seemingly endless. Timely, honest responses to all questions is the norm. Greatly appreciated and refreshing. You will be well served by Ed.

A little NVS/Tosca eye candy. The synergy with these two is a match made in heaven. Music flows and envelops you.

The DS Audio Master 3 optical cartidge is our new fav! We have the WestminsterLab Monologue Phono Stage equipped with an optical card playing the role of "Energizer".

The cherry on top is the Massif Audio Designs Mpingo Record weight.

Enjoy!
