Q. What do you like best about
your system?
A. It is very immediate and also very fast and
dynamic - in micro and macro terms. This is what you get
with good single-ended amps and single-driver, horn-loaded
speakers.
Q. What do you like best about the
Norvinz products you own?
A. The Lamhorns are about the best back-loaded horn
design going. They do everything right and have no real
weakness. The Consonance amps are quiet, even on
highly-sensitive speakers, beautifully built, and sound like
a good SET should!
Q. What is your regular profession
and why did you decide to become a Norvinz FR?
A. I'm a software developer in the financial
industry. Being a Norvinz FR is a perfect way to share my
enthusiasm for audio in general and the Norvinz products I
believe in.
Q. What, in your opinion, is your
best qualification to be a Norvinz FR and to serve the
Norvinz customer?
A. I believe my experience with audio products to be
extensive, along with my technical knowledge. I've heard a
lot of stuff and that's how I can have real confidence in
Norvinz products as true best-in-breed equipment. I also am
committed to working with customers to find exactly what
works for them and offer follow-through after the sale to
make sure everything is setup to allow maximum performance.
Q. How did you become a Norvinz
FR?
A. After communicating with Vinz via the internet, I
make a trip to his home in Jersey to meet and hear his
equipment. I already owned the Consonance Cyber 845
monoblocks as well as a great Consonance 2A3 integrated SET
amp, but had not heard the Lamhorns. These speakers in
Vinh's system, driven by the Consonance amps, produced among
the best sound I have heard from a home audio system, at any
price, in the areas I value most. I decided I had to have a
pair of these speakers and, because I believed in them and
other Norvinz gear to a great extent, decided that
representing them as a Field Rep was a logical step as well. |
