Announcing Vinylphile: a freely-downloadable, vinyl-centric audio mag

[vinylphilemag]

(My thanks to Steve and Amir for their permission to post this announcement.)

Hi all,

As some of you know, I lost my computer programming job late in 2008. About a year ago I decided to put my (ahem) writing talent to use and publish a magazine about something I've loved almost my whole life: high-end audio and music (especially on vinyl). After a lot advice and encouragement from friends, acquaintances, and industry contacts--not to mention a LOT of hard work--I'm pleased to announce that today my dream has become a reality: I have just posted the first issue of Vinylphile! You can download it--for FREE--from here: http://www.vinylphilemag.com/pdf/vinylphile-001.pdf

Late last year some people from here responded to a survey I posted about the mag. I'd like to thank everyone who responded to that survey, and their help in shaping the mag into what it is today.

I hope you enjoy reading the mag as much as I did putting it together!

A crowded field. Cream always rises to the top. I wish I had never sold my SME 4 and Aries 2. Just popped the top on a bottle of champagne.

Congratulations, Rich! I know just how long you've been planning and preparing for this. I wish you the very best of luck!

PS: Art of Noise and no mention of Peter Gunn? For shame! ;-)

Thanks for all the kudos, guys, I really appreciate it!

And Peter Gunn wasn't on the album I reviewed in this issue; In Visible Silence will have to wait a while...

Don't know how I missed this when it was first posted.

Congrats, Rich, and thank you for posting the download - it looks great.
