Richard is a full time investment manager who lives in three countries. He spends his time mostly in Asia, but you will also find him in Park City, Utah and New Jersey. But when he is not trading equities or reading research reports, he is a Part-Time Audiophile and by all account, a very serious one!

Richard comes from a family with two generations of music lovers and audiophiles which precede him. He started listening to opera when he was 10 years old and bought his first audio system when he was 12.

When Richard is not busy with his investment business, he spends most of his time listening to music, socializing with audiophiles over fine wines, and setting up turntables. Richard has done over 2500 turntable setups in the last 10 years. AnalogMagik is his creation and is the undisputed premier audiophile solution to cartridge alignment and setup needs.

In 2003, Richard started writing his own blog Stereopal.com where he documented his visit to different audiophiles from around the world and gave him the opportunity to listen to (and pass judgment on) thousands of audiophile systems. His blog later turned into the Greater Toronto Area Audiophile Club (GTAA), which is now one of the most active audiophile groups in Canada.

StereoNET’s Founder and Publisher was born in England and raised on British Hi-Fi before moving to Australia. He developed an early love of music and playing bass guitar before discovering the studio and the other side of the mixing desk. After a few years writing for audio magazines, Marc saw the future in digital publishing and founded the first version of StereoNET, known at the time as Planet Audio, in 1999.

SoundStage! Australia launched on July 1, 2017. One of its purposes is to inform Australian audiophiles; however, since it resides online, it can be read and enjoyed worldwide.

In charge of SoundStage! Australia is well-respected hi-fi journalist Edgar Kramer. Prior to leading SoundStage! Australia, Edgar contributed to the following print and online publications: Audio Esoterica as editor, and Australian Hi-Fi and Sound+Image as a reviews editor, and 6moons.com as a senior reviewer.

From his headquarters, in the beautiful Blue Mountains in Sydney, Australia, Edgar’s responsibilities include writing feature articles and reviews, in addition to leading the site’s team of reviewers, who are all Australians. SoundStage! Australia was created as a platform for the Australian hi-fi scene, so it’s natural that all the content originates there.
