RMAF12: Standing room only at Emerald Physics
I had serious problems with the Emerald Physics room. Not the sound. Not the gear. Not the affable Underwood Wally running the show. No, my problem was getting in. In short, [...]

RMAF12: Channel D and their silky sonata in the key of Seta
I’ve been using Dr. Rob Robinson’s “Pure Music” software program for a couple of years now. I prefer it, one, because it works as advertised, and two, [...]
RMAF12: Pure Vapor

RMAF12: Day 1 Multi-Pack (Part 3) — SVS, Melody, Polk, Playback, George Warren, Sonist, Coincident, Music Hall, Boulder, Music Culture, PTE
Another of roll up post. I didn’t get to spend enough time in any of these rooms, but I was curious about each. Consider this more of a photo journalistic survey than [...]
RMAF12: Mega speakers from YG
While not the full monty version of the Anat, the Studio Signature was far and away the better choice for this particular audio show. I’ve heard YG now at just about [...]
