35 Years...And Just Getting Started

Thirty-five years ago this month, the first issue of a <A HREF="http://www.stereophile.com/features/708">new audio magazine</A>&mdash;cover price 50 cents&mdash;cautiously made its way out of a Philadelphia suburb. Its black'n'white cover featured a chessboard adorned with tubes and XLR plugs. Its 20 advertising-free pages included a feature on <A HREF="http://www.stereophile.com/historical/108">how to write an ad</A> for an audio product, which had been penned by one Lucius Wordburger, a footnote helpfully pointing out that this was the <I>nom de plume</I> for one <A HREF="http://www.stereophile.com/historical/712">J. Gordon Holt</A>, "who wishes to remain anonymous."

Integrated amp match for PSB T8's

I purchased PSB T8's and while the Creek 5350se was a great match for the Paradigm 60's it seems to come up a little short with the PSB's. I'm in a relatively small 17'x 11' room but bought the speakers based on a move to a larger one. My current interests are the Unico SE or the NAD M3. Any advice would be appreciated.

Creative writings some times conflict when they really don't have any logic or science in the writings. It's creative writing. When is the composite material surrounded units gonna be what the "designer" decides is superior sounding? Lacquer finish is audible in an electronic device? Is this an electric guitar, where it's all about the resonance of the wood making the sound? I'm sure the COLOR of the metal and plastic cover also effects the sound, no that's next month!
