I was glad I'd made the trek along the Strip: As I reported in the May 1999 <I>Stereophile</I>, the sound of a DMP recording&mdash;of unaccompanied choral music recorded and mixed in DSD by Tom Jung&mdash;was breathtaking, I felt, with an exquisite sense of space. It was definitely the best sound at the CES.

Thanks to all the "Fine Tuners" out there who filled the room early on Sunday morning at the Home Entertainment 2001 Show in May for my "Fine Tunes Clinic."

Wes Phillips is hesitant as he takes a listen to a revised version of the first speaker he ever reviewed for <I>Stereophile</I>.

Phillips admits all.
