In Reply to: RE: Sam Tellig posted by bjh on February 14, 2012 at 19:10:56
I actually met Sam once in a New Haven, CT. audio store. IIRC it was Take 5 Audio, but I may be mistaken. Actually I shouldn't say I met Sam per se, because what transpired was one of the salesmen asked me; "Do you know who that is?" and after I looked, I told the salesman I don't know him.The salesman replied; "That's Tom G. aka Sam Tellig from Stereophile." That's when I learned Sam Tellig was his "nom de plume" as you say. Perhaps he looks like the guy in this poster?

I think the store was Audiocom, then in Old Greenwich, CT. The sales person was Bill D'Onofrio, one of the store's owners. If I remember correctly, a customer (was it you?) started talking about a Sam Tellig review and Bill said, he's standing right here so you can ask him directly. My memory is a little hazy. I think it was 20 years ago, maybe 25.
Sam it could very well be exactly what happened, but as you said it was some 20-25 years ago and I am often under the influence of prescribed pain medications! So my memory from back then is quite bad.
I said Take 5 Audio in New Haven because to be honest it was the only name I could recall ---{ I lived in the E. Hrtfd, Glastonbury, Manchester area back then and live in Orlando, Fla today }--- of an audio salon in the New Haven/Fairfield county area of CT.
I also remember there was another very nice audio shop in New Haven, CT that unfortunately I cannot remember the name of, just like I forgot the name of the audio salon in Old Greenwich, CT. That's where I saw the HQD speaker system powered by Mark Levinson JC-2 and ML-2 25W Class A monoblocks & finally heard what a real highend system could sound like.
I don't believe I approached you, did I? IIRC I felt if you used a "pen name" it was probably because you did't want to be bothered in public, by people who read your reviews in Stereophile, when you were on your own time as Tom G. but then again I may be mistaken because it was 20-25 years ago.
