audiophiles get mention in today's WSJournal
I was at THE Show last week, and the word on the street (from even a pseudoaudiophile friend) was that the test was really a sham.I did not take part in the test, so I have no personal opinion as to whether the test was valid or not. Hopefully, so...

Any comment on Opera Audio Consonance M15 speakers
Hello, Mariusz, I wish you and your family the happiest of holiday seasons. Actually, you were far more informative than I about the M15.I wasn't aware there is a new Consonance Cyber 800, unless it is the product I am currently representing. This...

What's the best, or your fave Johnny Cash song?
I'm with Chadnliz, "Hurt" really does it for me. A haunting song, even moreso after seeing the video. 
Jeffs Sound Values in CA. PH not working/closed?
We repaired a component for Jeff. The timing seems to have been just before he closed down. I gave him a call to go over things once we assessed the situation. We talked for a while, including many things audio. Seemed like one heck of a nice guy....

Manufacturers don't get it. make tubes visible.
I'm designing a new line of gear, and was going in the direction you laid out, Marty.However, the initial solid state and hybrid integrated amplifiers look good enough that I have made the decision to put the tubes INSIDE the preamplifier.For one,...
