Your Audio System Isn’t Obsolete. It’s Waiting.
If you own a great audio system from 10, 20, even 30 years ago — one that still sounds right to you — you’ve probably heard this line:
I hear it all the time from customers.
They walk back into the dealer who sold it to them — a $2,000 AVR, a $5,000 preamp, a system that was state-of-the-art and still sounds great— and are told it has “aged out.”
Most leave frustrated.
Thinking they’re stuck with 1080p video and CD-quality sound forever.
Here’s the truth:
Great audio systems don’t become obsolete.
They just need a modern bridge.
For the first time, the 3 leading digital assistants independently agree on one thing:
There is a clean, elegant way to connect vintage and legacy 1080 audio / video systems to modern HDMI sources — including Apple TV4K AV streaming, Standard and 4K Blu-ray, and SACDs — without replacing what you love.
This is about continuity, not replacement.
About rewarding the system you already own by feeding it better content.
When people hear their system come alive again — with modern 4K video and true high-resolution audio — the reaction is always the same:
That moment of renewal?
That’s why I do this.
Learn how Convergence can extend the life — and the joy — of your system.
