General audio topics that don't fit into specific categories.

Another example

I knew about Audio Research long before the Absolute Sound started publishing. I owned one of William Johnson's modified Dynaco PAS-3xs (wish I still had it) when he was still operating as Electronics Industries (I think I am remembering that correctly). And I heard the Maggie T-1Us at my local dealer, Douglas Dynamics, before the Absolute Sound mentioned Magneplanar. As has been noted J Gordon Holt did cover much of this stuff first.
HP may want to believe that he invented high-end but it just isn't so.
I can't claim to have heard them all at the time of their original release but to me high-end started with the Quad ESL-57, Marantz 7/8B/9/10B series, the KLH 9s, HK Citation 1 & 2, etc. The dance had already started long before The Absolute Sound started publishing.
