Testimonials

Richard,

I've spent many hours pouring over issues #1-2 and #9-10 so far. Too bad I didn't have this knowledge 3 years ago. I would have gotten a lot more bang for the $30,000 I've laid out for audio gear during that time. I find your Journals to be far and away the most useful guides I've ever seen. This includes both of Robert Harley's books (excellent!) and my subscription to UHF magazine (also excellent). Also, I subscribe to two Stereophile and two Absolute Sound magazines. I've read literally hundreds of audio hardware reviews on-line as well.

Please keep up the good work.

Keith Birdwell, a very long time jazz and classical music lover.

Richard,

Just wanted to send a note of thanks for APJ's 9-12 (and of course 1-8). I just finished reading #12 and continue to be impressed with how you are able to translate complex audio isues into something I can understand (although sometimes it does take more than one reading). I wish I had this information before I made any purchases but they will provide me essential info in the future as I slowly upgrade. Thanks for the great work.
