In Reply to: The late, great, Harvey "Gizmo" Rosenberg. (nt) posted by chickenlogic on November 11, 2004 at 01:45:11:
I never met the man in person, but I remember New York Audio Labs and Tube God.The NYAL owner's manual (written by Gizmo) instructed the amp's new owner to soak in a hot mineral salt bath and don a silk robe as part of the pre-listening ritual: You rarely get that kind of advice in audioland these days! Too bad because there are definitely some Type A individuals who could learn to relax a little.
