Paul Bowes
Paul Bowes has been a hi-fi enthusiast ever since he was a teenager and heard Led Zeppelin’s Whole Lotta Love on a high end stereo. He has since been on a fascinating journey of musical discovery, upgrading his audio equipment along the way and finding ways to optimize his system for better performance. Paul is an avid cyclist and spends a lot of time mentoring students at the University of British Columbia, where he obtained a PhD in Science.
Decades of hi-fi tweaks taught Paul Bowes that optimizing gear—not endless upgrades—unlocks music’s full potential. From speaker placement to EMI fixes, these methods elevate performance dramatically.
Paul Bowes shares his story of getting invited to the UK, Europe, and North America to perform space optimization in the listening rooms of complete strangers who later became friends.
“To say these upgrades and tweaks changed the sound of my system for the better is a huge understatement. Their cumulative effect on the sound I previously had is nothing less than staggering.”
“There’s plenty of quality content available in surround sound for music and movies. Why not take advantage of it?”
With the arrival of the fall-winter music listening season upon us, this is a perfect time to organize your music collection and tune-up your stereo.
Life is full of noise. Don’t you want less of it from your system?
Signal loss is causing your system to sound 30-40% less good than it could. That’s my estimate, and I think it’s conservative. The loss begins at the source and continues through a bog of electronic parts, EMI, connectors, and cables, a long process of loss that doesn’t end with your speakers, but your room. Everything…
One of the most critical factors for getting audio components to perform their best is to supply them with the cleanest possible power. The power you get from your electrical outlet is often polluted and noisy […]
Cables touching each other can have an extremely negative effect on sound quality, especially when it comes to the electromagnetic interference (EMI) power cords transmit to […]
Reaching a higher level of performance and musical engagement from my system has been a steep learning curve and taken me to places I never thought possible.
