www.high-endaudio.com & Arthur Salvatore

I own a pair of his recommended amps- rebuilt/highly modded Altec Lansing 1570BT monoblocks (165 wpc in triode using only a pair of 811's per channel). They are superb from top to bottom of the frequency spectrum. I also owned another pair of his class 'A' modded Golden Tube Audio amps, but had to sell because not enough power for my application- they were incredible though- utmost grainless purity... so yes- in my opinion, many of his recommendations are excellent (including Coincident cabling, which I also use and speak highly of).

Honest and informed - two adjectives I can think of when I think of Arthur Salvatore. There is a major void in Toronto, in audiophile circles, since he returned to U.S. of A.. I trusted his opinions, (almost) exclusively.

I have read and re-read his website many times, and, based on his recommendations, purchased many of the LPs and some of the equipment he recommends.
I have found that he has never steered me wrong as far as audio goes. I stopped buying certain record labels, and started purchasing certain other labels, and never have I heard better sound. I also bought a denon cart, and like it. I can't afford many of the other products, but if I could I would likely purchase the recommended components before any other brands. The exception I made recently was a pair of Axiom M80Ti's, which had recommendations from just about everyone. I was not disappointed, fortunately.

do anyone knows where he moves? any update information?
thanks

I've read his site many times and some of the things he notes make you wonder about the "ethics" of the audio press. I agree with what he says about many of the components on his list (Spicss TC50s, the Well Tempered Turntable and the Linn (overrated and overpriced)) so his reviews generally seem pretty solid. But, as always, let your ears do the listening before you make any serious purchases (or buy stuff used on Audiogon... at least you can sell it back without a major loss).
