Hi all,
Apologies for the delay in posting the review – I owed it earlier to both Mike and the forumites. What we were doing in the background was setting up a blog - in typical audiophile fashion, what started out to be a small piece of work turned out to be a more involved project.
People have been asking me to start blogging my visits since last year, and it had never been an idea, until 3 of us recently got together and decided to take a stab at blogging.
A few quick things about the blog before I move to the post
1. We are releasing just the Seattle post today – since Bruce and Jazdoc were both covered in one afternoon/evening, their visits have been embedded in it.
2. All other posts are thumbnails, we will release the other posts soon, and put more up – I am just cut pasting my old posts for now.
3. Please treat the blog as exactly what it is meant to be – listening notes and observations. One of us will audition some equipment in house, I will be the one traveling around, and another is a vinyl veteran who will focus on the software aspect - LPs and classical music. Will introduce the other two with the appropriate posts.
4. Setting it up was a pain – getting the thumbnails, fonts, etc right – which is why it took time. This will be an ongoing activity and we will sharpen the design after a few months – so feedback appreciated.
Some of you already have had a two line summary of Mike’s system. Here is the long version. Take your time. It was 5 pages in word doc without the pics. I wrote it on the way back from Seattle as I spent a lot of time waiting at airports and on the plane. I have kept 95% of the content as is to preserve emotion and recall. For the analog lovers, there is an LP by LP comparison of GFS and Anna.
I will pick up your comments when I wake up my morning time.
