LA FILOSOFIA DI KIYOAKY IMAI
Since I was brought up by the brother-in-law, I could not go to the university. I graduated from the department of an electron of an industrial high school. And I joined Japan Victor Company. It was lucky and assignment of me was a department of stereo technology.
Then, I did work of a process analysis, process decomposition, process control, and work instruction. And six years passed. I dislike the job and enter the time of change of job. However, I was change of job for fulfilling my future hope rather than it having been selfish and changing one’s job. My eight change of job gave me many experiences. I have experienced all except account department. And Audio Tekne was built. If I will become the time of tax payment from six years before, I am teaching to the taxpayer creation of a settlement-of-accounts document, and creation of a tax return form. In short, change of job is my university.
When I got interested in audio equipment for the first time, I am meaningless and yearned to Ortofon SPU-GT, SME 3012, Marntz #7 Garrard, Thorens, Goodman and JBL Olympas. I at that time forgot to listen to music.
In 1961 I made PP stereo main amplifier that connected the triode 25E5 and the pre amplifier that imitated Marantz # 7.
Speaker system made 2-way (25cm and 5cm). LP record player is Japan Victor.
Especially I was influenced, when I am in the dormitory of Victor, it is that I listened to music by the stereo system of the janitor’s son. His work is selection about the background music of television.
For the work to which I satisfy me, I established Audio Tekne. And the subcontract of a trading company and a company was carried out. As for the trading company and company, the products that are selling be judging as a good thing, I noticed that time.
I had a doubt in it.
And I have noticed that audio equipments approaching a real sound are right. It is the beginning of Audio Tekne of today from it. It is 1980 year. I began direct sales of a vacuum tube and audio accessory to the customer.
