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." And thanks to Victor Tiscareno of Audio Prism/Red Rose Music for the "technical stiffening." I applaud all your intelligent curiosity, questions, and tales of woe and success. Let's do it again.

Wes Phillips is hesitant as he takes a listen to a revised version of the first speaker he ever reviewed for <I>Stereophile</I>. Will the new <A HREF="http://www.stereophile.com//loudspeakerreviews/386/">ProAc Response One SC loudspeaker</A> vindicate his original positive assessment of its predecessor, the ProAc Response One S? Phillips admits all.

Although the deal was <A HREF="http://www.stereophile.com/news/11038/">announced</A&gt; by both companies only weeks ago, it appears that <A HREF="http://www.audioadvisor.com">Audio Advisor</A> will in fact not be distributing Musical Fidelity products in the US after September 1. In AA's place, Musical Fidelity has chosen Kevro International as the exclusive US distributor for its complete line of electronic products. According to Kevro International spokesperson Kathy Ginn, "Musical Fidelity [has] chosen to market [its] products through independent specialists rather than [continue] their previous approach [of distributing the line] through mail order and the Internet. And, unfortunately, AA will no longer be a dealer."

<A HREF="http://www.umusic.com">Universal Music Group</A> and <A HREF="http://www.wmg.com">Warner Music Group</A> are more than friendly competitors, in the view of the <A HREF="http://www.ftc.gov">Federal Trade Commission</A>. They are also partners in crime, according to charges filed against the two on July 31 in New York.
