Hello my name is Terry Ellis I am the man behind Pursuit Perfect System and the man you see in front of the camera. This is and always will be a project of passion. I am extremely interested in all good things for audio and video reproduction and have been for many years. It started with some of my family members being audiophiles but I found my first passion for music playback in the form of DJing and loved listening to and setting up of PA rigs. There was a natural progression from there into home cinema systems but always with a focus on music playback quality.
I am sure my background and way into the hobby will resonate with a lot of you. I am not from a journalism background, I am not from a video editing or photography background. I am from a pure enthusiast background, I take video and sound quality extremely seriously but am here to enjoy the hobby, get excited about it and relish in the many technical wonders we have available to us today.
That leads nicely to Pursuit Perfect System, we are completely independent, with no ties to any manufacturer or dealer, despite working very closely with several. Every review is honest, our expert opinion good and bad and we focus more on the performance rather than speaking through all the features it may have. The reviews are on the website and You Tube always with our unique high quality sound recordings to support everything we say. Yes you get to hear the products being reviewed setup as part of our review reference system and we strongly believe the more of these videos you watch the more you will get out of them.
We visit as many of the industry shows as we can to cover them with high quality video and audio as we know our You Tube Channel viewers really enjoy this coverage. A big part of our focus is helping audiophiles get more from the hobby by looking at the many different areas that are essential to great audio and video in detail.
I can assure you of a bright and interesting future for Pursuit Perfect System and I invite you to become a member of the community by visiting our website regularly, subscribing to our You Tube Channel and dont forget to follow us on Twitter and Like us on Facebook
We appreciate your support and I look forward to seeing you in the next one.

Review Procedure
Here at Pursuit Perfect System we believe in a fair test platform for all equipment we review.
Our Listening Room is Acoustically Treated with products from GIK Acoustics - our review room has a very low reverb and is the ideal conditions for assessing and recording thje differences in audio equipment.
However we dont feel just good acoustics is enough - we also use Dirac Live to ensure we have an exacting frequency response at the main listening position so all kit is reviewed free of the rooms affects.
We also pay close attention to all the other important areas of system performance so that every product we review can perform at its best

WHY IS IT
SO DARK IN HERE?
SO DARK IN HERE?
Our Listening Room is a "Bat Cave" its completely blacked out with specific materials used to absorb light
We do this for the Best Picture Quality as it maximises Contrast on a Projector Screen and because it gives the best Picture Immersion by removing the room from the viewers peripheral vision
We find this also has the same benefit when listening to music, reducing the visual stimulus helps us to go away with the music and helps it to become a more realistic experience
