3 Audio Deities at 6moons


Hello.

I would like to pass along a link to all of us here which goes into a lot of detail concerning three local folks who I respect beyond words. http://www.6moons.com/industryfeatures/forbidden/forbidden_8.html They are all friends, and Vinh Vu and Bill LeGall are just about family to me. Each has the area of knowledge, and I dare say they are probably the best in their fields, in the world.

Lloyd Walker's turntables are perhaps the zenith of analog playback. What can you say beyond the fact that his products are the destination in the field? Lloyd is a down to earth, approachable, fun loving person. I can't say enough about him.

Vinh Vu's turntable dustcovers are perfect to the point of being personally endorsed by Harry Weisfeld of VPI himself. In addition, Vinh has been building a tremendous amount of momentum with his Gingko Audio isolation devices. Check the past few issues of Stereophile and you will realize that the biggest problem Vinh is going to have is keeping up with demand. Look for a more formal review upcoming from Michael Fremer.

Bill LeGall is the best speaker guy in the world. In addition, he is one of those individuals only the truly blessed are lucky enough to have come into their lives.

While I am providing the link, I must say that whatever I can write or do pales in comparison to the job Srajan Ebaen has done in putting the piece together. There is so much detail and the pictures give a true insight into each man. 6moons.com has been growing and growing as one of the sites when it comes to audio. I can now understand why. My hat is off to a truly special man. Thank you, Srajan.

Enjoy,
Joe

Unbelievable Trelja, thank you for calling this to our attention. Lloyd is a close friend of mine and I completely understand your admiration of Vinh Vu and Bill LeGall.

This is what high end audio is all about. Getting it right.
Uuuuuuh, I don't know what to make of all this mutual gushing... I guess the qualifications for godhood have slackened just a tad over the years...

Here we have three great guys who pay attention to detail. If they gave all needy audiophiles their products for free out of the goodness of their hearts, forsaking their own costs and hard work, well, then I'd be jumping on the "god" bandwagon too!

I hope you A-goners don't take this the wrong way, because I admire these gents a great deal myself.
Plato, I have never met any the people being discussed except for Lloyd Walker. Lloyd is a great guy and good friend but would never be mistaken for "God like," nor would he want to be.

Perhaps that is the opinion of the writer at 6 Moons. He is entitled to his opinion and writing style. The comments were from the writers heart and insight to his thinking as much as his subject's.

I do agree that people who share deep passion for quality and workmanship (to the absolute best of their ability) is rapidly diminishing in today's society. Because the people in that article are still holding to those standards, I cannot help but admire them.

I was impressed with the through coverage and deep photographic documentation. It's nice to see alternatives to otherwise dry and boring technical reviews of audio equipment.
Joe, thanks for pointing out the 6moons site. I'll start exploring it -- some in-depth stuff there.
Albert, your points are well-taken and I agree with you. In retrospect I probably took the "deity" thing a bit too literally. It is refreshing to see a behind-the-scenes type of article that is very well done. I appreciate your comments.
