Victorian Christmas

December 17, 2003

To Rad Bennett,

Thanks so much for the terrific review you gave my recording, Victorian Christmas. I'm walking on air! It was super working with Gary Lux and all the great people at Silverline, and to get to play in surround sound. I hope more harpists will be able to record in this format -- it really adds what has been missing in a lot of harp recordings.

Thanks again!

Harmonix Studio Master

December 5, 2003

To Mike Silverton,

Thanks for the nice review on the Harmonix X-DC Studio Master power cords. I stumbled across this brand about two months ago from a fellow dealer, Artistic Audio in CA. I just finished auditioning the entire line of their top cables and I am simply amazed at how refined a sound this Japanese company can bring in the midst of other great-sounding cables on the market.

Boy, it didn't take me long to make a decision to add this brand to our lines. What a no-brainer. Incidentally, have you listened to any of their other cables in your system as of yet? That's where the real fun began for me.

Glad you like the review. To answer your question, no. This is the only Harmonix power cord I've used. Nothing like starting at the top and staying there. I'm about to have my electrician install the same FIM 880 outlets that occupy the back of the Reimyo line conditioner Mr. Kiuchi also designed. It did occur to me that I'm one audiophile who seems to be upgrading in reverse. One begins with the basic audio components, then goes to a power conditioner and backwards from there to power cords, backwards again to his audio system's wall outlets. I expect I'll be petitioning my electric utility to replace the power pole nearest our house with redwood for its superior resonance characteristics. I think I'm only half-kidding....Mike Silverton
