Meet Kramer Crane
I love spicy food and watching movies in surround sound — preferably at the same time.
I'm an audio/video and photography enthusiast, so much of my day is joyfully spent researching and writing about speakers, amplifiers, and cameras. My goal is to boil technical jargon down to plain language that helps make choosing new gear a smooth experience for you.
Outside of Crutchfield, I own a photography business that specializes in portraiture, event, and landscape imagery. Exploring the world with my camera in hand is deeply fulfilling, and a lot of fun!
