Wow, guys, please take it easy. Norm has always been very hospitable to me personally and I consider him a friend, so it hurts to see the thrashing he is taking on Audiogon forums due to his tendency to be a bit too enthusiastic toward the products he owns and prefers.
I will not get into the whole thing about his reviewer history (primarily because I don't know the facts nor wish to), but I will say that his equipment purchases and his posts are, in my opinion, based on his love for the hobby and genuinely reflect what he personally feels about these products.
I did not wish to enter into this fray, but feel compelled to stand up for a gentleman I believe to be a genuinely dedicated audiophile and a good friend.
