    I was happy for Skip to see him get some print. I know he works hard trying to do it the right way...actually caring about trying to find what's right for you...and was proud that his work is getting some recognition.

    Skip is a good egg no doubt, I hope for his continued successes for many years to come.

    Great review and I am glad he mentioned the platform. When Skip put one under the amp, I heard the difference right away. We both I think were surprised.

    He's been on me to check then out, and I'm resisting, as usual. Hate to like something that cost that much and not be electronic gear.

    Nice review. Good for you Skip! Questions though, what is GO?

    From the article:
    The power transformer is made with a high-quality sheet of low loss GO in resin bath (to reduce temperature, vibrations and noise) placed on a support that stabilizes it anti-vibration.”

    But that moustache, though...

    Seriously, good to see Skip mentioned as being in the thick of things.

    However, sad to see that the author had pre-supposed he would 'graciously and politely' leave the room beforehand.
