In Reply to: Another worthless review! posted by Ric Schultz on March 3, 2015 at 19:28:54:
...where the reviewer says its the best he has heard
That's NOT what he actually wrote. Unless we assume this journalist of thirty odd years (he wrote for Stereo Review in the early 80s) is contradicting himself, here is his actual statement in that regard found in the concluding paragraph of the review:
"My last impression of the Prometheus was the same as my first: It's one of the best-sounding amplifiers I've heard in my listening room."
Like LTQO, I learned to read in elementary school.
