I'm a 24-year-old Banking and risk management student from Rzeszow, Poland. Becoming an audio gear reviewer gave a whole new meaning to one of my favorite hobbies - listening to music. My reviews are meant to keep it real and simple in this confusing world of high-end audio. By the way, I also love cats, martial arts, computers and cooking, so there's that.
