I received an interesting call today from a man named David Garrett in Atlanta, Georgia. David has 25 years of experience as an architect (in fact, he grew up in Highpoint, North Carolina—“Furniture Capital of the World”) and, for the last 13 years, has operated his own interior design company. He is aggressively and enthusiastically looking to change directions, however, and has recently started an LP rack business called Nomad Crates.

Several years ago, under different ownership, the magazine was moved from our 110 Fifth Avenue office in Union Square to our current 261 Madison Avenue location in Murray Hill. They put us on the 9th floor. It was nice. I made some friends. A couple of years later, we were moved from the 9th floor to the 6th floor. And a couple of years after that, we were moved again, from the 6th floor to our current location on the 5th floor.

Last night, after leaving Other Music, orange bag in my hand, I stopped in front of In Living Stereo and gazed dreamily at the window display: A pair of DeVore Fidelity Gibbon 3s (just like home!), a Rega P3 (just like home!), and a…

Marantz has introduced four new, relatively affordable products: two integrated amplifiers and two disc players. All carry on the sleek, attractive design of the company’s reference components, featuring the classic Marantz star logo (cool), sculpted faceplates, and solid-looking build.

Phiaton, maker of sexy headphones for sexy people, has a nice new website filled with pictures of attractive young adults, set in clean, chic surroundings, looking very deeply engaged with what they’re doing, whether at work or at play or getting ready for a big date, while wearing Phiaton headphones. Check it out.

The August 2010 issue of Stereophile is now on newsstands. The cover, with its mellow tones, is one of my favorites. To a greater degree than any other cover we’ve released, this one got a buzz going around the office. People would walk by and say nice things. I hope the cover works the same magic for people browsing the newsstands.
