Whatever happened to Enid?


Remember Enid Lumley? She used to write for TAS in the seventies and later for Peter Moncrieff. She was often thought crazy at that time for propagating technical ideas and tweaks which today are common knowlege. Does anybody know out there what happened to her and what she is doing today?

I've wondered the same thing. As i've mentioned before, what she used to do in terms of cleaning and preserving her LP's puts most current "vinylphiles" to shame. Then again, she was doing this 20+ years ago, when vinyl was abundant and not "rare" or "irreplaceable". Just goes to show how "advanced" some people are with their thinking and experiences. I found the teaming of Lumley and Moncrieff via International Audio Review ( IAR ) to be a phenomenal source of information. Too bad i've yet to see ANY magazine come close to what they were doing back then. Sean

Bringing things up like this sometimes helps to figure out where someone is coming from and better understand their train of thought. Good to see that we're all looking at things from the same perspective. Even as "nuts" or "goofy" as we get, Enid DID go just a bit overboard on a few occasions. Then again and as was mentioned, i DO think that she and Moncrieff REALLY did help to motivate a lot of those in the industry to improve circuit designs and construction practices. Sean
