Wired for Greatness - The Story of SAE

SAE — Scientific Audio Electronics — is one of the most fascinating underdog stories in hi-fi history. In this episode, I follow the rise of Morris Kessler, a young L.A. shop kid who went from repairing scorched receivers to building components that would challenge McIntosh, Marantz, Pioneer, and Sansui at the height of the Stereo Wars. I delve into the legendary SAE Mark II, the groundbreaking 180 graphic equalizer, the coveted Mark IV and Mark VI, the 2400L / 2500 / 2600 power amps, and the cult-favorite 5000A pop & click filter. You’ll also meet the minds who shaped the sound of an era — Ed Miller, the quiet engineer’s engineer, and James Bongiorno, the thunderbolt who later created Ampzilla and helped define American high-end audio. If you’re into vintage hi-fi, solid-state history, audiophile engineering, restoration, or the people behind the gear, this deep dive into SAE is for you.
