Hey! I just discovered that my name has been taken in vain! I must say that Bob has not grossly misrepresented me, however. I must add, however, that I think the Absolutes are greatly improved by cryogenic treatment. I would not state as absolutely as Bob would have me saying that the Absolute beats everything. I still use Omega Mikros on my phono, where I think Lloyd Walker is right that they work best. I have not heard the Eichmans, the Siltech Gen. 5, the Elrod ribbons, the Jena Labs, Bob's newest, or the Nordost Eldorados. I should also add that the Absolutes are being used down stream of two Sound Applications-one for digital.
