While attending THE Show Newport Beach 2011, Stereophile's Michael Lavorgna took a small detour to visit AudioQuest headquarters in Irvine, California.
My comments on the tour/AudioQuest facility can be summed up by saying that this is one of the most organized, clean, neat and tidy places I've ever seen. And it's not the kind of organized, clean, neat and tidy you can fake for a tour. From the huge warehouse to the tiniest Ziplock baggy, everything had its place and label. Impressive.
Indeed, the visit made a lasting impression on Michael. He concluded:
I was shocked to see the size of the AudioQuest warehouse. Shocked to discover that so many people buy so many cables. I had never given this matter much thought. But with...row after row after row of cables stacked up to the ceiling, you have to accept the fact that cables make a difference to a lot of people.
