This month's editorial is dedicated to sites that I was invited to visit over the last couple of months.
In the -not so immediate- past, if you have tried to get to Pioneer Electronics site through the obvious www.pioneer.com URL, you would have been confronted with a range of agricultural products! The Pioneer (Electronics!) S.I.T.E. is a reality. Pioneer, is one of few Japaneese manufacturers I cherish since they not only manage to produce poor sounding audio components made with quality (!), but also create audiophile products that suit the new entrants to the field (many students cheered Pioneer's A-400 amplifier, a piece of excellence for less than $400). I guess that Pioneer needs no more praise -just take a look to the success of its car-audio and "home-theater" products - but the site is a match to Pioneer. Truly great aesthetics (black and grey colours dominating the site) as well as functionality. Moving to high-end stuff and introducing a Swedish company that specialises in cables and interconnects: SUPRA Audio Cables seems to produce them with great care and effort. You may be asking how can one be so sure about a product he never had the chance to listen to... Well, I wrote "it seems", but by visiting their site you'll have the chance to read principles of good cable design and application. In addition, the people there seem to welcome answering to enquiries regarding not only their products but also about component interconnection in general. In addition, for those of you who may want to become distributors of hi-fi products this site may well be a good starting point! Last but by no means least a notable site comes from a compatriot of mine who lives in Australia and creates the Metaxas Audio Systems. or MAS. Reading a Kostas Metaxas interview, was enough to convience me about the "worth-of-resources" that this gentleman posseses and even made me feel a bit proud. The site also offers in depth information about the design and construction of MAS products and will prove to be invaluable to the DIY audio enthousiast. The site deserves a better design, but you will excuse me for not slugging-off more a rare compatriot... would you...? Go To Page: 1 2
