NYAL booklet- Any value

Clueless, I paid $5.00 in 1984 directly from NYAL. I personally talked to Harvey on that day and he was in a hurry to go on some Harley motorcycle outing. We talked briefly about George Kaye's "new" Moscode designs. I never did buy any NYAL stuff as it was out of my price range. This booklet, though, has some interesting philosophy by Harvey and is loaded with pictures of some of Julius Futterman's early amps. The reason I was curious of the booklet's worth is because I was cleaning out my closet and decided to sell a slew of Stereophile and Absolute magazines that date from 1983-1992. I am currently putting together a list to advertise them and then I found this NYAL catalog. I remain, Sherod

Sherod: While the value of this is probably next to nothing, i'd like to read that just for kicks. Being the "good & kind soul" that i am, i'd be willing to double your investment and pay for proper packaging and shipping. Your Friend, Sean : )

Sean, I believe that NYAL is no longer. Am I right? If that is the case, then there is no longer a copyright infringement, so perhaps I could make good photocopies of it and send it to all those interested. You are probably right that it is has no value, if not sentimental. It is interesting reading though, a must for not just tube-aholics, but for all audiophiles. Harvey was the "ultimate" tube nut. His passion for tubes goes deep into his soul. Just reading some of his philosophies is almost a religious experience.If there was a way to get copies of this to everyone, I'd do it. I'm not out to make any money on it. Every red-blooded audiophile should read this booklet once just for the experience. Harvey had a respect and love for Julius Futterman that was very deep and strong.Obviously Mr. Futterman was very aware of that as it was Harvey who got Julius' patents and rights to his designs.Also in this booklet there are reprints of reviews from IAR,etc.on certain classics like the Futterman H3AA and OTL-3 amps.

Hi Clueless. It's interesting that you mentioned that this stuff was advertised on Ebay. I just typed in Harvey Rosenberg and what do you know, this same booklet along with two others are up for bid together. There is a little over a day left of bidding. So far the high bid is at $27.00.

Sherod: I was just joking that the material that you have was of little value. Someone somewhere is always willing to pay good money for someone else's junk. Just look at Audiogon and Ebay for further proof : ) On top of that, when someone offers to "do you a favour" and is willing to do so at twice the money that you have into it, you should suspect that something is up : )

Honestly though, i don't know what would be involved in copying this and / or the legalities involved, but i would be interested in obtaining a decent copy at a reasonable price. If you were to ever make duplicates of this, please contact me, I would be willing to compensate you for your efforts and expenses. Sean
