Hello Srajan, I'm probably way late but just learnt that Jeff Fritz, formerly with SoundStage Ultra, now works for Magico. Is that not an unusual transition? I wondered what you thought of it. [Rest withheld by request.]  Andrew

Until you just asked, I'd actually not given it a thought, Andrew. And yes, you're more than a year late to his party. Jeff always adored Magico products so joining them in an ambassadorial function which still includes writing plus participating at events and shows looks like a great opportunity which keeps him associated with the industry he enjoys working in. My own path was the opposite. I started on the audio manufacturing side as a formal sales & marketing man then crossed over into reviewing and eventually, publishing. Either way covers more bases and deepens appreciation of the hobby and its professional aspects than only doing one or the other. Of course doing both, simultaneously, should be verboten for obvious reasons of conflict but today those standards seem to have relaxed and I've heard of a few cases which play both sides. Again, to each their own. That's what I think of it. I'm now considered old-school and the YouTubers are the shiny new thing. That's how the wheel turns. Srajan
