Letters to the Editor

October 27, 2021 Michael Lavorgna
It has been a while since I shared some letters to the Editor. Er, um, to me. I always enjoy hearing from you, otherwise its just music, wind, rain, crickets, and the occasional howl here in the Barn.

“…not only bad taste but I consider it inhumane!”

May 17, 2019 Michael Lavorgna
I meet your at that same show 2 years ago and always liked your witty comments but commenting with a reverence to one of the most humane movies ever made about a stupid obsession is not only bad taste but I consider it inhumane! Jakob […]

Letters to the Editor: Welcome Back…

November 12, 2018 Michael Lavorgna
The word is getting out about Twittering Machines in part thanks to my friends John Darko, Darko.Audio, and Scot Hull, Part-Time Audiophile, who have generously mentioned / linked to TM on their sites. Thanks fellas. Another important piece of the word-spreading puzzle in hifi-land is […]

“…and am even more stoked that between the sheets lies Road Tours”

October 26, 2018 Michael Lavorgna
Hey Michael- Not sure what took me so long to discover where you had landed after AudioStream- especially considering I was actively trying to figure it out- down to asking Stephan Mejias. Nonetheless, I’m stoked to see you resurrected TM and am even more stoked […]

“…now when i type “t-w-i-t-t-e-r” into my browser, auto-fill takes me to a better place.”

October 22, 2018 Michael Lavorgna
Hi Michael—thanks for reviewing the Quad VA One. I’ve been intrigued by this piece for a while, and am considering it for a small, “retro” inspired system in my basement. Quad makes a pair of speakers that they sometimes market with the amp- i’d like […]

“5 days ago, I acquired a Herman Miller Eames LCM chair…”

August 30, 2018 Michael Lavorgna
Michael, I was sorry to see your departure from AudioStream and it’s taken me quite a while to find you again. I’m also glad to see TM focussing on some other art/design areas as well as audio which is why I’m writing to you. Before […]

“I hope Jana is not lost to the audio world …”

August 13, 2018 Michael Lavorgna
Hi Michael – welcome back – normal (and extended) service is resumed! I would like to thank you for all your helpful advice down the years on network streaming etc. and look forward to both your audio gear and musical recommendations – the Bartok is […]

“I am beginning to think of my hifi gear as ‘twittering machines'”…

August 13, 2018 Michael Lavorgna
Also a welcome back from me. I am beginning to think of my hifi gear as “twittering machines” as well as all hifi reviewers, magazines and so on. Just to keep everything varied, I love your new layout – it makes discovery and surprise possible, […]

“So, yes, by all means, welcome back! But…”

August 9, 2018 Michael Lavorgna
So, yes, by all means, welcome back! But — egads, what a cluttered, scattershot, busy, messy interface! Poor signal to noise ratio. Still, I’ve registered & I’m gonna give you all a try. Thanks for taking feedback (which took some digging around to suss out) […]
