Over a period of two years, I have tested various vintage reproduction systems to determine which of a hundred combinations of cleaning methods, needles, and cartridges create the maximum fidelity and why. The work has led to several projects […]

For about 9 years, I was immersed in wireless regulations pertaining to next-generation cellular and Wi-Fi deployment.
