I’m back in

Years ago, I canceled my subscription because of the general East Coast urbanhipster vibe and other claptrap that seeps into equipment reviews. Then, today, I read this in Robert Schryer’s review of the Grandinote Shinai: “The Shinai mostly degassed those farts, rendering them drier than I’m used to, more defined and solid, with better attack.” I’m back in.

IsoAcoustics Gaia isolation feet

Just wanted to thank Michael Fremer for his enthusiastic review of the IsoAcoustics Gaia isolation feet. After reading his review, I bought them. He was not kidding!! In 45 years of hi-fi, I’ve never heard a tweak to a system have such a dramatic improvement. I have been rediscovering old recordings ever since. Thanks again, and hope to see Michael again at Audio Advice in Raleigh if we ever get through this pandemic.

Choices, choices

I just read Mr. Fremer’s review of the SAT XD1 turntable. Damn, there goes the new Lamborghini!
