REL is dead. Long live REL
Me too Drubin--that's a great group of very audio savy people out there. They are smart, good businessmen and honest to boot. Bill Pugh (haven't talked to him in some time) has been a friend, colleague and good for the audio industry--expect great...

A customer of mine some years ago, switched to the MAC preamp because of a slight hearing loss in one ear. He noted that the balance control tracking of the MAC was reputed to be VERY good, and after auditioning, very much on target, in his opinio...

Having tried and noted that the Quantum Resonance products seem to work, even though I have never gotten a real explanation as to how, I feel compelled, as a wide eyed optimist as it relates to audio improvements to respond.Imagine trying to expla...
