\u00a0But Dan is the kind of person who is never satisfied with the status-quo. \u00a0Forever modifying and tweaking from the time he first started in home audio, Dan has never been afraid to open up a component and pull out his soldering iron. \u00a0Through the shear act of \u2018doing\u2019, he has discovered what kind of changes will, and will not, make any system sound better. \u00a0Every component in his system, whether digital or analog, has gained significant sonic improvements as a result of his modifications.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image media=”73491″ media_width_percent=”100″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3\/4″][vc_column_text]Chris Doman<\/b> is the one who keeps the rest of this eclectic group grounded in reality. \u00a0Chris\u2019s practical application of engineering principles and \u2018hands on, dirty fingernails\u2019 expertize is the glue that holds this gang of divergent minds together and keeps them on task. \u00a0His natural ability for designing and installing commercial and industrial smart-building technology encompassing HVAC, Electrical Power, Security, Lighting, Equipment and Machine Control is enhanced by his innate skill for staying focused on the BIG picture while not wasting time or resource going down rabbit holes. \u00a0And when it comes to designing, fabricating and maintaining manufacturing equipment, Chris makes MacGyver look like a bungling novice. \u00a0His practicality extends to his system, too, it being totally comprised of used equipment which he has resurrected, refurbished, and modified..[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image media=”73470″ media_width_percent=”100″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3\/4″][vc_column_text]Billy Hanna<\/b>,\u00a0aka: the practicing curmudgeon and audio snob, has never been impressed by price tags alone. \u00a0Billy\u2019s first system back in the mid 70\u2019s was an Advent 300 receiver, 201A cassette deck and Linn LP12 partnered with large Advent Loudspeakers which he describes as one he could easily live with today. \u00a0Considering himself a \u201cJack of All Trades, Master of None\u201d, some of Billy\u2019s professional experience spans the gamut of shooting chickens at aircraft windshields for PPG Industries and running his own foreign car repair shop in the 80\u2019s, to later supervising a plasma physics R&D lab for Eaton Corporation, and as Quality Assurance Manager at a high-precision machine shop supplying the US military, international automotive, electrical power distribution and medical industries. \u00a0His current role is design assurance engineer overseeing Smith & Nephew\u2019s NAVIO Surgical System, a robotics surgery platform now being used worldwide for knee replacement procedures.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_empty_space empty_h=”3″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ back_color=”color-prif” overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ align_horizontal=”align_center” overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ width=”1\/2″][vc_icon icon=”fa fa-edit” icon_color=”color-jevc” background_style=”fa-rounded” size=”fa-5x” linked_title=”yes” css_animation=”left-t-right” animation_delay=”400″ title=”Warranty” link=”url:http%3A%2F%2Ffinleyaudio.com%2F%3Fpage_id%3D73238|||”][\/vc_icon][\/vc_column][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ align_horizontal=”align_center” overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ width=”1\/2″][vc_icon icon=”fa fa-lock” icon_color=”color-jevc” background_style=”fa-rounded” size=”fa-5x” linked_title=”yes” css_animation=”right-t-left” animation_delay=”400″ title=”Privacy Policy” link=”url:http%3A%2F%2Ffinleyaudio.com%2F%3Fpage_id%3D24363|||”][\/vc_icon][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
