We journey through the mysteries of the world with a sense of deep understanding. The kind of understanding that is open and absorbent to the reality of magic and the humbleness of nature. In our own humanity, we interpret our everyday experiences through art and design, music and taste, science and philosophy. Our emotions ravaged and comforted by one another, by dreams, and by living.

Two Friends at the Parthenon of Santa Clara

In a sunlit corridor of time and coincidence—at a place affectionately known as the Parthenon of Santa Clara—two friends crossed paths. Not by accident, but by some quiet design of the universe. One brought with him a lens for sound, the other an eye for light. One spoke in rhythms, the other in hues. Both were seekers—of truth and comedy, of signal and silence, of the wild dance between audio and visual, art and nature.

Their conversations unfolded like jazz—improvised yet intentional. Long walks became meditations. Sketches turned into schematics. Laughter bridged the technical and the spiritual. Over time, what began as shared curiosity evolved into a powerful creative bond—a companionship driven by the desire to shape the world, not just react to it.

Amidst the hum of silicon valley and the whispers of redwoods nearby, they built something tangible: The Audio Crown.

It wasn’t just a product. It was their first profound piece of art.

Crafted with reverence for proportion, inspired by the golden ratio, and tuned to the human experience, The Audio Crown became a symbol of everything they valued—clarity, balance, elegance, and truth. Designed to elevate the turntable and the listening experience, it represented the intersection of their minds and hearts, form and function, silence and sound.

This wasn’t about nostalgia. It was about presence—creating a tool that helps others be fully here, now, in the music, in the moment.

As they continue their journey—through landscapes of design, invention, and friendship—their path remains clear: to honor beauty where it meets purpose, to invite both art and humor into every venture, and to crown the everyday with meaning.

Enjoy your experience with Phitzen and continue the pursuit of mindful consumption and creation. Taste the sound of music. It is sweet, it is comfortable, it is frightening, it is exciting.
