I am always stoked when I find a cool, new, passionate self-published magazine. That's why I was so pleasantly surprised to pick up this mag at the winter NAMM show. This mag is clean and nicely laid out and very well written. This issue has an interview with guitar amp whiz, Curt Emery, a NOS tube article and some orginal spec sheets from old RCA ribbon mics. Eric Barbour, the editor, is also the man behind Metasonix, makers of fine tube synthesizer modules. If you're into tubes, you have to check out this mag.
