Editorial

O ne of the great parts of this

Eagle-eyed readers may have noticed

that we’ve made a few typographical

changes starting with this issue, mostly

to increase the amount of white space.

We’ve increased the amount of space

between lines and columns of text,

and we’ve also increased the amount

of space around text-wrapped photos.

Finally, we’ve changed a font or two

for greater consistency within the mag.

We hope that these changes improves

Vinylphile’s legibility; as always, we

welcome your feedback!

hobby of ours is introducing

friends and acquaintances to it.

A few months ago a friend visited our

home, the irst visit in quite some time.

The conversation somehow turned to

music, so I invited him into my music

room to play a couple of records. He

politely obliged, but I could tell he was

just humouring me. His curiosity was

piqued when he saw my MartinLogan

Spires, but he also volunteered that

he doubted that he’d any difference

between my high-end rig and his

modestly priced (but hardly bargain

basement) set up. So I asked him what

his favourite record was, and luckily I

had a copy. I sat him in the sweet spot,

dimmed the lights, and turned up the

volume.

As we put this issue together, our

thoughts turn towards Denver, Colorado,

and the seventh annual Rocky Mountain

Audio Fest. We’ll be there to cover the

show; it’s the irst time we’ve been to

the Audio Fest, so we’re really looking

forward to it. We’re always interested in

meeting our readers, so if you see us

there, feel free to say hi. We don’t bite—

much!

One could almost hear his jaw hit the

loor as the track started playing. When

the track inished and the lights were

turned back up, he had this huge grin on

his face and exclaimed, “Now I get it!”.

Needless to say, what was supposed

to be just a couple of tracks turned

into several hours, and my friend had a

new-found appreciation for music and

high-end audio.

We’re pleased to present an article by

Brian Bloom, a long term audiophile

who has contributed to Audiophile

Audition from more than ten years.

Welcome, Brian!
