As the editor of Affordable Audio, I am very interested in reader interests. My reviewers need ideas of what readers want to read about. I have done this same topic with excellent success in other forums, so please post what you want to see reviewed in our publication. We have already reviewed several of the items from the other forum.

Chances are pretty good, that if you want to read about it someone here wants to write about it!

i know of one ST member system (in Portland, OR) that would make for an interesting read, but i am not sure if the owner would be up for such a piece.

comparisons with competing gear are always good, but accommodating manufacturers can be hard to come by.

not a review, but i've always thought a sit down with Aerial's Mike Kelly would be a fascinating read.

i am always interested in good sound from budget, used, vintage and diy gear.

Bill Dudleston at Legacy Audio might make a good interview.

How about an iPod dock shootout. Both w/ fixed output and variable for connecting direct to a power amp or powered speakers.

We have all heard about the Wadia. They can't be the only game in town. The Pro-ject V dock looks interesting.

You did say your name is Affordable Audio. The iPod Classic or Touch could be a great source.

Cary's budget Audio Electronics line is very nice. How about the latest additions to their line-up, the Super Amp MkII and AE-3 preamp MkII.

I simply love my Superamp 2. It has the new upscale transformers Cary uses in their S120 poweramp, plus it can use a whole range of tubes besides the EL34's it comes stock with.

Just my 2 cents.

I got the review. If anyone wants to read it. PM me with your email.
I got hammered on my shells. So it was good and it wasn't. I have another coming up with a US mag.

The shells can make a difference. They do make a difference in the sound of the tape. I didn't think they were that noisey. Guess I was wrong. These shells were approved by the Library Of Congress. They are suppose to be one of the best.

are you going to take them back to the drawing board and see if they can be tweaked, or is the production run done?

I'm trying to get the ones the other review that was there that wasn't suppose to be shells. They are made in Germany.

I have also contacted the company I bought these from. I did get hammeed huh.
