I knew John back in the day when I consulted for a couple of audio companies. They built great stuff and it sounded very musical. I remember at CES one speaker designer I worked with telling me that the newer amps didn't sound as good as the Bedini's. But, his dealers had the "other" amps so he used those at the CES shows. I like John, he had a good sense of humor and believed in what he heard, and wasn't afraid to speak up and tell folks about it, no matter how weird it was. I am pretty sure he was the first one to raise speaker cables off the floor and demonstrated how they affected the sound at the CES booth. We came to the conclusion that the steel in the concrete floor affected the current in the wire but neither of us had a clear cut theory on the electrical reasoning behind it. It was very repeatable, though and everyone there could hear it. It wasn't a huge difference but it was consistent. One year he used 20 gauge solid wire as speaker wire. Everyone thought he was nuts; I just smiled as he had some great sound in that booth and you can't argue with good sound.
