“ To honor the artist, should not audio recording and reproduction continually strive for musical realism? ”
High-fidelity (Hi-Fi) audio attempts to achieve musical realism. I've spent years seeking the perfect system. Contrary to popular belief, the seemingly outdated tube continues to prove its worth in audio recording and reproduction. Many musicians favor the sound of tube-based equipment
My first listening session with a tube-based system was astounding. After hearing a score dozens of times, at once it's meaning was evident. The emotional content of the music conveyed through tubes left me speechless .
Cronen Audio is for music lovers that believe a musicians intent should be honored. We'll share our Hi-fi experiences and help promote talented musicians and audio-equipment manufacturers who do the same.

Maintained by EveAnna Manley, who also runs the company, their web site is fun and informative. Manley gear is state-of-the-art. Their list of design innovations and industry firsts is impressive.
Bob Reeder is a talented musician. Affectionately known as “Big Bob”, he has breathed new life into the Irish Music Association, runs his own recording studio, and continues to thrill audiences in and around the greater Kansas City area. It is my firm belief that the world should know of Bob Reeder.
