Some of you may recall that I had my complete Audio Note system for sale a little while ago. I thought it worth posting the reason for the withdrawal of that sale thread, not only for interest but also to bring to notice certain acts of kindness and customer service. I have often felt that […]
We are told: This is the first posthumous release from Tom Petty and is a career-spanning box set that focuses on Petty as a great songwriter. The compilation includes 8 unreleased songs plus many of Petty’s hits, usually as alternate or live versions. The set also includes some of his lesser known songs – especially […]
Dear Colin, Can you tell us a little – or a lot if you wish – about the Integrated Amp design you are most proud and why please? The Claymore come to mind – the Inca Tech Claymore – it was designed on a whim for a US based company that never came back to […]
One question regarding AN speakers. How good are they in free space? I was thinking of buying a second-hand set of AN’s for my room approx. 6×4 meters (18×12 ft) big, without an obvious wall to lean speakers against. Would the performance take too big of a hit if I position them in free space? […]
Colin, what are the current design and materials limitations that confront all intelligent skilled speaker cable designers today? It is not materials! it’s understanding that block A can go with block Z. The complex nature of the cable is not a easy thing to write here about. And I will not be writing about the […]

Many were truly impressed by the […]
Rafe Arnott: I had the rare opportunity recently to catch up with Audio Note UK head honcho, globetrotter, music lover, and hi fi-industry legend Peter Qvortrup, who graciously agreed to be assailed with questions by me regarding what his company has up its sleeve for 2016. Qvortrup is a man I’ve offered to drink beer […]
