HP did a very short but very positive piece on the HR-X late last year and liked it a lot better than his Clearaudio and I think it was on his personal recommendations. Trouble is TAS have recommendation lists every mnth so hard to keep up.
VPI have not given Fremer (I don't think he has asked for one either) an HR-X as his musical tastes are more lean, mean and leading edge sound. I think Brian Damrocker might have one and might be doing a review at some stage in the future.
Bottom line was when I spoke to VPI, they indicated that the HR-X was selling very well without sending out review samples to all and sundry. All that does is put pressure on VPI to raise the price as they virtually have to write thoses costs off.
HP specifically asked for one, as did Roy gregory so VPI then supplied.
cheers SR
