Art Dudley's comment about PS Audio's outlets was profound. Seldom do the reviewers mention this type of problem or concern. Granted that a reviewer's system is in a constant change more so than the normal(?) audiophile or music lover. It will be interesting to see if PS Audio makes a comment regarding this article. Whether they do or not, would others be interested in creating a forum with similar issues/remedies? This could be both positive & negative issues. It is important that it would not be just a "whiner" section.

Spendor ST1

Forums

Still shopping for a new system...the Rega Mira 3 and Apollo are the top runners. I was considering the Spendor S5e but in the May issue the Industry Update column mentions the ST1, from Spendor. Is anyone familiar with these?

Any other speaker recommendations, for the Rega gear, would be appreciated. Thanks.

Roger Ebert: "Ain't a Pretty Boy No More"

My admiration for Roger Ebert, which was already immense, just increased. Ebert, who has been battling cancer of the salivary gland, was advised not to attend his own film festival because paparazzi might take "unflattering" photographs of him. His response? "Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn. As a journalist I can take it as well as dish it out."
