In Reply to: RE: Unfortunately, I don't have any more info as regards Mr. Wingate, that came from an interview he gave posted by Charles Hansen on July 2, 2011 at 22:12:00:
into items being sold from his estate.
As regards the print interview of Mr. Wingate, all I can say is I must have read his interview in one of the magazines I subscribed to back in the early 1990s, perhaps someone else will recall which periodical it was that published the interview. It must have been in one of these, Stereophile, The Absolute Sound, HI Fi News, Sounds Like, Audio Amateur or Glass Audio. I also bought the occasional issue of Audio but I don't recall it being in that.
As to the fall of Wingate Audio it may have had to do with passing fads in the marketplace. As I recall at that time, mosfet amps were falling out of favor with audiophiles; being perceived, rightly or wrongly, as misty and grainy. The S.E.T. resurgence was just about to begin in the US having started a few years earlier in the Asian markets. Maybe it was just offering the right product at the wrong time?
