Upgrade Company History

David J. Schulte age 44 founded The Upgrade Company after he spent 2 decades reverse engineering the sound quality of the most expensive high end audio equipment he bought for personal use and upgraded for fellow audiophiles.  No matter how much was invested into the latest and greatest magazine hyped new model and high end cabling, the improvements were marginal at best and the sound was still seriously lacking, no matter how much was invested.  The latest "Class A", "Editors Choice" and "Top Picks" never sounded "live". They only provided the typical incremental improvements. Like so many audiophiles today, he was caught up in the "Merry-Go-Round" of buying and selling one model for another, never achieving a truly musically satisfying system using stock "For Profit Built" magazine recommended equipment.

By combining the strengths from each manufacturer, employing advanced RFI/EMI shielding techniques, the latest wiring and electronic parts, installed using measurements & comparisons,  the latest new models today can meet or exceed mega buck cost models.  A tremendous amount of untapped performance potential resides in factory mass produced & boutique high end models.  

The Upgrade Company guarantees you a level of performance that has satisfied the most discerning audiophiles the world over for many years.   Our 100% Buy Back Guarantee goes with each and every upgrade we perform.

Instead of spending tens of thousands of dollars for supposedly "State of the Art" models that only provide minor incremental improvements, let The Upgrade Company expertly upgrade your existing components instead. 

The Upgrade Company LLC continues to innovate and push the limits for S/N ratio and frequency response with our unqiue RFI/EMI shielding that is a first in the high end audio and video industry.  This shielding helps enable the very highest performance obtainable.
