Music reviews
click on the cover to read the review
This site consist of reviews and features I�ve written over the last few years, first for the now-defunct Planet Hi-Fi and then (and currently) for Soundstage! I�ve been fortunate to have good editors at both magazines, so I thank Dennis Hartwick and Greg Kong at PHF and Doug Schneider and Mark Mickelson at Soundstage!.
You�ll find my current reviews at the Soundstage! link above. Audiophiles will also find well-written, informative equipment reviews and features there. Click on the "Music" panel for CD reviews, which is where you�ll find my stuff. I�ll have the current month�s reviews posted here when the next issue comes out (or soon after).
