| Alephs included in Stereophiles 100 hot components - Click HERE for Original Thread |

| I just saw the November issue of Stereophile has included the Aleph amplifiers with a very commendable mention of Nelson Pass in John Atkinsons 100 hot components in the last 40 years. I thought of printing it here but it might infringe some copyright laws. |

Not much that they write is to be taken seriously. We all know how good Nelson's stuff is without being told by those idiots.
Did I say idiots? I realy meant *(&**&&^(^&^%^$($ !

| Nelson Pass |
At least two products scoring higher on the list were
also designed by me. Can you guess them? |

The active acoustic bass traps.
The ion cloud speaker.
If I had the list in front of me I would know I bet....

| Ok, I'm intrigued. I'll guess KLH 9, and Infinity IRS. |

The Stereophile rag is nothing like what it once was but Nelson's amplifiers just keep getting better all the time. Where did Stereophile go wrong?

I saw the Adcom GFA 555 on the list which is my first guess but am stumped for the second.
My best guess would be the PS Audio P300 Power Plant
The next best guess is the Audible Illusions preamp. |

| No doubt with plenty more to come Nelson, nice job! |

[29]: Adcom GFA-555 power amplifier
First Stereophile review: August 1985 (Vol.8 No.4; also Vol.8 No.7, Vol.12 No.12, Vol.13 No.10). The best-selling Adcom defined what an inexpensive solid-state amplifier was all about—power, power, and more power—without losing sight of the refinement essential to musical satisfaction. Some feel the less powerful, even cheaper GFA-535 was the better-sounding amp, but the '555 defined the genre.
[8] (tie): B&W Nautilus, Infinity IRS, Wilson Audio WAMM loudspeakers
Stereophile reviews: B&W, no review; Infinity, March 1986 (Vol.9 No.2); Wilson, August 1983 (Vol.6 No.3). One uses cone/dome drivers in a conventional cabinet (if something resembling a snail could be called "conventional"), the other two use dynamic, planar-magnetic, or electrostatic upper-range drivers in a panel array and conventional woofers in a separate tower. All three were made in minuscule numbers, and all three are the finest-sounding true full-range loudspeakers I have heard. |
