From: A life-long “FOREVER” client.
To: Frank Van Alstine & Audio by Van Alstine (AVA) { Frank & Engineering Staff }
Since I’ve known him, Frank’s reputation has always preceded him.
Those in the “know” concerning professional audio, AES and otherwise, provided my “unanimous” referrals.
For more than 30 years his name and his exceptional organization have been indelibly inscribed within the “Who’s Who of Professional Audio”. His initial modifications of Dynaco & Hafler equipment have become legendary, as has his reputation.
From day one, more than 30 years ago, to present, AVA’s “Value to Price” equation has been unmatched & unfailingly beyond reproach.
“Virtual” Sonic Perfection need not have an MSRP matching that of a fine automobile. Gone are the days where two “complete” audio systems are required. The less expensive one exclusively for use during the week – Monday thru Friday.
The master system “powered up” only on the weekends; much like the “weekends only” exotic supercar sparingly used to minimize the readings on each respective hour meter. The owner most apprehensive about reliability of both “high strung” exotics – the car and the (master) audio system. For the owner knows it’s only a matter of time for the dreaded “downtime(s)” and subsequent disappointment(s).
What “peace of mind” is elicited when the word RELIABILITY need not be cause for anxious moments? ALL AVA products are engineered for maximum “headroom” to operate flawlessly with “Zen Like” harmony attainable only due to painstaking “attention to detail” regarding the patented electronics designs, section by section. All matched circuits operate “QUIETLY”, without strain, assuring the ultimate in reliability, year in and year out.
THESE FEATURES: NOT AVAILABLE ELSEWHERE – AT ANY PRICE !
Within the realm of sensibility (dare I say sanity), EACH AVA product built with the finest “state of the art ” components, most cost effectively. DESIGNED, ENGINEERED & “HAND BUILT” IN THE U.S.A., courtesy of Minnesota.
At AVA, regardless of product type: tube, solid-state, hybrid or it’s specific price point, their hallmark “attention to detail” from engineering to execution ensures the best Sonics, most cost effectively.
Notably, EACH AVA product designed to allow for future updates - therefore, “ Outwitting Obsolescence ”, most cost effectively.
MASS PRODUCTION - ELSEWHERE - EACH AVA product “ custom built to order ”, not only assuring the client of a fresh NEW product, but ensuring the incorporation of the latest design “updates” available.
At AVA, Rotation of “Stock” - ABSOLUTELY A NON-ISSUE
EXCLUSIVELY:
AVA designed products provide a three year warranty, as well, a 30 Day Satisfaction Guarantee.
Having invested considerable monies with Frank and AVA, I’ve had many years to consider that EACH AVA product, with which I’ve had the pleasure to audition, is a signature INVESTMENT of what I would consider is most likely ~ 96 to 97 % SONIC PERFECTION with 100 % RELIABILITY.
Based on my professional opinion – that most elusive of ~ 3.0 % to ~ 4.0 % net gains ( “The Holy Grail” ) is indeed PRICELESS - In my estimation, NOT WORTHY OF THE “fanatical” MONEY OR YOUR SANITY.
ALL AVA products provide HIGH RESOLUTION AUDIO: Sonic Perfection - with a Conscience. ABSOLUTE SOUND – ABSOLUTELY and RELIABLY.
Product “FAILURE” NEVER an option - NOT within the AVA “DNA” !
QUALITY built Audio by Van Alstine’s Reputation
-- PRIDE ( and PASSION ) Guarantees it.
Sold Everyday @ AVA - PRICING with a Conscience.
Exquisitely competent audio engineering affordable for the masses - NO LONGER A DREAM!
STILL, After all these years, the most cost effective & BEST SOUND this side of the Sun.
CONGRATULATIONS TO ONE AND ALL @ AVA !
