Dear Steve, Sarah, and the entire Decware team,
I wanted to write to you not with a question, not with a request, and not about an order.
I simply wanted to say thank you.
Steve, thank you for creating Decware and for having the courage to follow your own philosophy of what reproduced music should be. Sarah, thank you for all the kindness, patience, and support you have given me. And most importantly, I want to thank every person in the Decware workshop whose hands touched, assembled, wired, tested, finished, and carefully prepared the amplifier that eventually found its way across the world to my home in Tbilisi, Georgia.
You should know what your work has accomplished.
I have been passionate about music and high-end audio for many years. I have owned and listened to a great deal of equipment — amplifiers from Luxman, Hegel, Denon, Marantz, D’Agostino and others, including components costing $15,000, $20,000 and more. I have owned different loudspeakers and spent countless hours searching for better sound.
I thought I knew fairly well what an excellent amplifier could do.
Decware surprised me.
This amplifier has exceeded my expectations in a way that specifications, measurements and price tags simply cannot explain.
There is something extraordinarily honest and alive about the way it reproduces music. The transparency, the depth, the intimacy of voices, the texture of instruments, the delicacy, the sense of space — and above all, the feeling that there is less equipment standing between me and the music.
Sometimes you spend years improving an audio system and eventually realize that what you were really searching for was not more detail, more power, or a more expensive component.
You were searching for that moment when you stop listening to the equipment and simply feel the music again.
Your amplifier has given me that.
And that is why this message is about more than sound quality.
Your work has genuinely brought more happiness into my life. Music has always been important to me, but Decware has made evenings spent listening to music something I look forward to again. Albums I have known for years have become interesting again. Familiar voices have become more human. Recordings I thought I knew have surprised me.
That is a remarkable gift for one group of people in a workshop in Illinois to give to someone thousands of miles away in Tbilisi.
There are countless audio companies in the world, and there will always be newer technologies, bigger specifications, heavier chassis and more expensive amplifiers.
But what Decware makes feels different.
It feels as though there are still human beings behind the product — people who care about what they build and who believe that music matters.
Please pass my gratitude to everyone who was involved in building my amplifier. The people winding, soldering, assembling, testing, finishing, inspecting and packing these amplifiers may not often hear directly from the person who eventually sits in front of one, late at night, listening to music on the other side of the world.
So I want them to hear it from me:
Your work matters.
You did not simply build another piece of audio equipment.
You built something that became part of my home, part of my music, and part of some genuinely happy moments in my life.
Steve, thank you for creating Decware.
Sarah, thank you for being there for your customers.
And to the entire Decware family — thank you for your craftsmanship, your patience, your philosophy, and for continuing to build things this way in a world where almost everything is becoming mass-produced and anonymous.
Please keep doing what you do.
There is someone in Tbilisi, Georgia, listening tonight and smiling because you did.
With my deepest gratitude and respect,
Levan Adamania
