I'm not sure what he charges, but guessing it's at least a few $100/HR. I know my system could use some tweaking.
I believe you're in Castro Valley - as I'm in Danville, Stirling is based out of Petaluma, so all pretty much local. Anyway - system looks fabulous.  |
Hi Ventoux (sorry I don't know your real name),
I haven't had Stirling out to my house but I went to a talk he gave for the SFAS meeting in April.
IIRC, Stirling charges $2000/day for setup and usually most "jobs" take two days.
And Stirling is local, but he travels a lot, right after I met him he was about to head to Asia for a while....
If you'd like to meet up some time and listen to each other's systems, let me know.
Cheers and regards,
Stephen
