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

I would be the first (well, maybe the second) to protest Joe's pronouncement of diety for the likes of me (the concept of God is foreign to Buddhists like me anyway). But I can vouch for Bill's qualification based on Frank's definition. I know that Bill did work for free for many, including for me, on many occasions, and he has the testimonial letters to prove it. In fact, Srajan's evocation of angelic visions when he speaks of Bill and Loretta was not the first. I have read a glowing letter from a Professor of Theology no less, proclaiming that very same vision. Let's say that even if Bill is not an angel or a god, his place is well reserved upstairs.
One of my favorite movies is "Pay It Forward", with Kevin Spacey, Helen Hunt, and Haley Joel Osment, not only because it it entertaining but also because it suggests the concept of "paying it forward" as a way of perpetuating acts of random kindness as opposed to "paying it back" which is self-limting. Bill epitomizes the concept, he is kind to others without ever expecting to be paid back. Our world is infinitely better with people like him, and we can all endeavor to be like him.
So while I appreciate Joe's kind words, I don't think I am worthy of being mentioned in the same likeness of Bill. But he certainly sets an example to guide my actions everyday.
