The Concert Fidelity stuff isn't bad, but it is kind of overpriced for what it is, because it's made in such small quantities. The fellow that imports it in the US is a really nice guy. I'd like to see them get a little more traction in the US.
And seriously, take reviewer references with a grain of salt. It's easy to make a product your reference when you don't pay for it.
If you take a cursory poll and see who's actually written checks for most of their "reference gear" it's me, Mikey Fremer and Jacob Heilbrunn at TAS(who also writes for us). The rest of em OWN precious little anything. Mikey and I don't always agree on perspective, but he gets all the respect in the world, because when he believes in a product, he gets out his checkbook.
