Sounds like you've been into high end audio longer than I have. I was one of the founders of the Northern California Audio Soci... | |

In my new book, "The Lucky Audiophile - Anecdotes from High End Audio" (Amazon) I share many pictures of my different listening rooms and equipment over the years. Yes, the room makes a difference to the quality of sound and resolution, but I thi... | |
| Were you an audiophile in the 1980s and 1990s? @bdp24 is correct about Holt starting Stereophile 10 years before Pearson started TAS. But which was more influential? Or fun to read? Do you recall The Audio Critic or International Audio Review (IAR)? They all played a part in my audio journ... |
