I had pretty much made my way through all the established
hifi brand names, and had actually placed a deposit on
a (then) new Mark Levinson power amp when I stumbled upon
a Kit 1 system driving some skanky old Lowthers. It is no
exaggeration to say that all the blood drained from my face
( a friend who was there can testify to this!) and I just could
not believe what I was hearing before me. Here was an actual
flesh and blood performance being recreated extemporaneously
before my very 'eyes', and everything hifi had talked about and
promised, but I guess I'd not till then known that they'd never
delivered. Nothing short of a paradigm shift could explain the
experience---in that one instant, I lost whatever trust
I had had for mainstream scribes and dealers in one blow.
