Happy Sunday everyone!  😀

Here's what's in my current review queue and what you can expect to see reviewed at Positive Feedback Online in the future. Next in the queue is the ASR Basis Exclusive phono equalizer that is the matching equalizer for the ASR Emitter II Exclusive Version Blue amplifier just reviewed at Positive Feedback Online here.

Next in line after that are the Sablon Audio Petit Corona and updated Grand Corona power cords from designer Mark Coles.

Then comes the next installment of the Acoustic Revive Chronicles - Chapter 10. Ultra-cool guys Mr. Ken Ishiguro (designer) and Yoshi Hontani (exporter) have sent a variety of  the beautifully constructed Acoustic Revive performance enhancing devices for me to review for your reading pleasure. Like last time I'll probably have to break the Acoustic Revive components into two groups in order to do them justice and give them the coverage they deserve, so this group will likely be broken into Chapter 10 and Chapter 11.

Some of you probably already read my posts about the updated RR-777 Schumann generator (below), the RL-30 Mark III Demagnetizer, and the extra-long Single Core interconnects. I'll have a lot more to say about them in the Positive Feedback Online reviews.

The RL-30 Mark III Demagnetizer.

The Acoustic Revive Single Core RCA interconnect (below) that I have been using in a long run from the ASR Basis Exclusive phono equalizer to the ASR Emitter II Exclusive Version Blue amplifier.

And coilded atop the box to the far right by the Westminster Royal SEs.

After I write The Acoustic Revive Chronicles Chapter 10 article will be the review of the New Valve Order SPA one phono equalizer created by Andreas Hadjiminas, working out of Nicosia, Cyprus. I really like it.

After the New Valve Order SPA one review I had a couple of vacuum tube amplifiers slated for my review queue, but they appear to be no-shows. The final item on my review queue is the Mhdt Labs Stockholm USB DAC, which is the latest design to come from the Fab Four of Mhdt Labs: Mouse, Horse, Dog, and Tiger. I'll be following up with a Today's Fresh Catch about the Stockholm in a future post.

Eventually I'll be finishing up the Fi 300B mono review as well. The Fi is a review of a personal purchase, and not so much something that is in for review in the usual sense, so it has got shuffled to the end of the queue while I'm trying to get caught back up.

My review queue is shut down at the moment and I'm not accepting any new items for review until I get caught up. Please, please, please do not send me anything for review unless checking with me first (like with the Mhdt Stockholm). While I appreciate the vote of confidence that implies, it also means it will be a long time before I'll be able to get to it.

When you do the math of an absolute minimum of 3-4 weeks for me to listen, take photos, and write an article about each of these items it should be pretty apparent that I've got a many month waiting list even for the items already in for review. While I'd like to review everything everyone asks of me, I just don't have that volume of time to devote to it, and even with those I accept its going to take a while. Please remember I have a day job, a family, friends, and other life sorts of things that need attending to just like you do, so while I want to accomodate everyone and write up a nice article for you, the reality is that other priorities are also vying for my time and I can only do so much.

So please, check with me about review times before sending anything. Normally it takes 3 months after a receipt of an item for review to see the review appear in print, but right now it's running double or triple that because of the backlog (now I know how Don Garber feels with his waiting list of 18 months for his Fi Hi-Fi electronics). Many thanks to you who have been understanding of the time constraints and have been so patiently waiting, I truly appreciate it, and like always I will get to your review as soon as humanly possible and will endeavor to do the best possible job on writing meaningful reviews for you.

Update: Cool guy Mark Coles of Sablon Audio fame just reminded me that I left the Duelund components upgrade to the Westminster Royal SE loudspeaker crossovers off the list - brain fade on my part. Last time I talked with Frederik Carøe he said it would be some months before he'd have everything made up for the upgrade article, so I'm guessing I should hear something this month or next. I'm really looking forward to it!

Enjoy your weekend with some music!  😀
