Last week I spent a few hours at the scene of NY’s Stereophile Show – HE 2004: a half-day on Thursday and 2 hours on Friday. As many other audio-shows it had many semi-ugly colorations, however as any audio shows this zoo trip brought it’s own “inter...

Can’t remember when I first noticed the right channel was
quiet when I used phono as my source, but it was some time before I rigorously

Romy,
Please accept my apologies for my first posting on your website. I had only perused a couple pages and may have come to an incorrect conclusion. While it is human nature to lock onto an idea and dogmatically pursue it, those in touch w...

Mario, I don't know how many "audio" sites you have salted, but I wonder if you read this one before posting your blurb. It is nice that you have spent some time trying to get a natural sound for you recordings via controlling some of the typica...
