He also produced several significant music recordings (including Marc Almond's Russian Heart On Snow album). Since 1990s Misha also regularly published his own articles and posts in various Russian media outlets mostly reflecting on the consumer audio industry's deepest inner movements and the most important changes in its overall dynamic curve.

In this book Misha Kucherenko has looked at our industry with a depth no one else has attempted. - Terry Dorn, Former President, Audio Research Corporation There is only one person on the planet who ponders beyond the artistic expression of presenting music through electronics and into the essence of High End Audio: it is our beloved Misha Kucherenko.

Like Big Misha does, inspiring us all to strive towards the Greater Good. - EveAnna Manley, President, Manley Labs ''Big Misha'' is a perfection-appreciative audiophile and creator of leading-edge performance earphone technologies. Misha's dedication to advancing and perfecting High End Audio reproduction is to be commended. In this book, Misha shares his knowledge, experience, and passion for the pursuit of audio nirvana. As a friend for many years, we have spent countless hours exploring what it means to present music as an artistic expression and up-lifting experience. He is a truly inspiring and caring person who can teach us much. - Gary Reber, Editor-In-Chief & Publisher, Widescreen Review and Custom Home Theatre Design Within my memory this is clearly the first exploration of the High End Audio phenomenon of such depth and originality. Made possible, as I sincerely believe, only through Misha's knowledge, experience and enthusiasm. - axim Semeykin, Editor-In-Chief, Audiomagazin Working with Misha Kucherenko on our album, Heart On Snow, became one of the most exciting adventures of my life. His taste and expertise in selecting the repertoire, the musicians, the most fitting studios, as well as his sonic experience, allowed the album to acquire the best sound possible. During the recording process, we repeatedly returned to the topic of sound quality in our conversations, and I am infinitely grateful to Misha for significantly expanding my horizons in this area. - Marc Almond, Singer It is always the greatest of pleasures to observe Misha Kucherenko's train of thought. His often highly unorthodox ideas always stimulate one's imagination. As does his StereoPravda. I would be very interested to see how my life would have changed had I read this book when I was ''fourteen years old'. - Mark Langthorne, Author of Somebody To Love: The Life, Death and Legacy of Freddy Mercury and 83 Minutes: The Doctor, the Damage, and the Shocking Death of Michael Jackson
