I have been a journalist in the audio industry for over 30 years. I have a reputation as an avid music lover, a die-hard analog fan and an uncompromising critic of speakers. This surely has something to do with my lamentable attempts to play violin and drums beyond amateur status. For a while I lived and worked in Switzerland, my favorite country, where I love to return.
