Curing Cancer One Masterpiece at a Time!


Jon Day and Audio Advice - Life Savers

Throughout my cancer journey, I have been fortunate to discover a unique source of support in Jon Day and the exceptional team at Audio Advice. Their expertise and dedication, which they may not even realize, have been instrumental in my treatment and recovery. The power of audio, a much-needed escape and solace, has been brought to me by these unsung heroes.


As I navigate the challenges of my illness, often confined to my bed due to fatigue, the home theater system crafted by Jon and his team has become more than just a luxury. It's a lifeline. With a simple touch of my Control4 remote, I'm transported to a world of captivating police procedurals, where the voices of detectives and suspects come to life with unparalleled clarity, thanks to the meticulously selected JBL and McIntosh components.


Jon's keen eye for detail and understanding of my unique needs have transformed my tiny house into an audiophile's paradise. Each recommendation has been a game-changer, from the strategic placement of Lutron shades to combat the acoustical challenges posed by my cathedral ceiling to the installation of carefully chosen audio panels featured in the cancerART
Sistine Art Contest. The result is a system may not rivals= those found in million-dollar homes but provides a much needed sanctuary where I can escape the constant my illness.


The impact of Jon and Audio Advice's work extends far beyond the technical aspects of the system. Their unwavering commitment to my satisfaction and well-being is evident in every interaction. I understand that my unique needs and the challenges posed by my illness may not have been easy to address, but they did so with grace and professionalism. The countless visits, the meticulous attention to detail, and the genuine care they show are testaments to their role as heroes in my life.


In the face of cancer, the little things often provide incredible comfort. The ability to lose myself in a captivating story, to feel the emotion in every word spoken, and to experience the joy of music in its purest form has become an essential part of healing. I remember one evening when I was feeling depressed, so I played Kind of Blue by Miles Davis, filling the room with Miles's horn, Trane's sax, and Bill Evans's piano. Everything seemed alright and beautiful. In that moment, the weight of my cancer journey felt lighter and as if victory was possible and likely. 


Jon Day and the Audio Advice team may not wear capes or possess superhuman abilities, but to me, they are heroes in every sense of the word. Their expertise, compassion, and unwavering dedication have given me the strength to face each day with renewed hope and determination. In the darkest moments of my battle, they have provided a light, a reminder that even amid adversity, there is still beauty
