While this may have appeared to be an inopportune moment, I am immensely gratified that I made this decision. It generated significant excitement and has undoubtedly been a resounding success\u2014not only in terms of sales figures but also in the level of satisfaction experienced by our clients during their visits to the new shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Atma: What sets Audio by Mark Jones apart from other dealers?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mark:<\/strong>&nbsp;Selling ultra-high-end products can sometimes foster an elitist attitude within this industry. At AMJ, we treat all clients with equal respect and dignity. A Nordost White Lightning enthusiast receives the same treatment as an individual inquiring about Valhalla 2. I believe this approach contributes to AMJ\u2019s reputation as a comfortable and welcoming establishment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Atma: What\u2019s your approach to building referrals?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mark:<\/strong>&nbsp;Servicing the hell out of my clients\ud83e\udd18<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Atma: How do you engage with your local community?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mark:<\/strong>&nbsp;Many years ago, when my shop primarily focused on high-value products and encompassed a diverse range of items such as video and portable audio, the majority of our clientele resided locally. Consequently, we were highly involved in the community. We sponsored sports teams and provided weekly audio\/video consultations on a local radio station. In recent years, I have volunteered as the DJ for the local Junior A Lacrosse team, which has been a delightful experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Atma: What kind of music do you prefer to use for personal listening and demonstrations?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mark:&nbsp;<\/strong>I cannot definitively identify a favorite genre. Nevertheless, I tend to gravitate toward music that deviates from the conventional offerings found in retail establishments and audio shows. By playing what we call \u201creal music,\u201d we move the listeners emotionally. The plan is to leave a lasting impression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Atma: Do you prefer listening to live music or recordings?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mark:\u00a0<\/strong>Live concerts are unparalleled in their experience. My recent attendance included performances by Simple Minds and Kraftwerk. However, I hold a deep appreciation for recorded music, which occupies a more significant role in my life due to its accessibility and daily enjoyment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Atma: What\u2019s your favorite part of working in high-end audio?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mark:&nbsp;<\/strong>The most rewarding aspect of hifi audio for me is the positive feedback from satisfied clients, whether it pertains to their recently purchased products or their overall experience at our establishment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Atma: How do you see the hifi industry evolving in the future?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mark:&nbsp;<\/strong>Regrettably, I believe the industry is headed in the wrong direction. The escalating pricing has alienated a substantial number of individuals from embracing this enjoyable hobby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Atma: What do you think the next big innovation in hifi audio will be?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mark:<\/strong>&nbsp;In my opinion, the next great advancement in hifi audio equipment will be simplicity\u2014not necessarily in terms of technological sophistication, but rather in terms of versatility. For instance, a pair of fully digital active loudspeakers that eliminate the need for multiple expensive components would be an ideal solution. This approach would enable high-end audio to become more accessible to a broader audience while maintaining its exceptional performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_2646-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_2646-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9546\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_2646-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_2646-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_2646-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_2646-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_2646-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_2646-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Atma: What components would make up your dream audio system?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mark:&nbsp;<\/strong>My ideal system is undoubtedly of a high caliber, but I do not aspire to possess one of the exorbitant systems that cost upwards of one million dollars.
