What's Goin' On...
Plenty of reviews and perhaps a few NDAs.
Article By Steven R. Rochlin

  Enjoy the Music.com's head honcho and Chief Editor Tom Lyle is laying back this month as I scribble a bit about this month's issue and a few other tid-bits of info. Last month's KEF Muo contest was a resounding success! This month we're giving our readers a chance to win a sweet set of incredible OPPO PM-2 planar magnetic headphones! Am sure you're already familiar with the many awards their PM-1 ‘phones have received, so imagine how great their higher level PM-2 cans sound. We know you love reviews and we got you covered there too.

But first we have the great Roger Skoff discussing if you like it hard or soft. Now before you get your panties into a bind, the article is about audio formats and the hard choices we all make. Turntable lovers need to read Rick Becker's revisit of the remarkable Charisma Audio Reference One MC cartridge. He loves it! We also have a world premiere review by Rick of the Coincident Speaker Technology Dynamo 34SE MK II integrated tube amp. The Dynamo 34SE MKII improves on the original and is an excellent audio bargain at $1499.

We have heard your cried for more value-priced gear and we deliver. Within this month's issue of Enjoy the Music.com's Review Magazine we get our hungry hands on the Audioengine HD6 premium powered speaker system. At $749 you get great tunes and modern features. Moving down the scale, far down, we have Creative Editor Steven R. Rochlin's review of a set of $60 headphones. C'mon, do you really expect a set of $60 plastic headphones to be worthy of your time? You could be wrong, so check out the review and find out for yourself. You might be pleasantly surprised.

We're continuing our Musician Series this month with two great videos. One with Juilliard and NYU Professor of jazz drums Billy Drummond and another with David Chesky. Am sure you're familiar with David and he gives you some insight into the direction he's taking Chesky Records. Billy Drummond is an outstanding jazz drummer and he's also an audiophile too! Watch what he's got going on within his video plus we added a few more vids of him playing great jazz music.

So What's This Talk Of NDA's?
Months ago I stepped down as the Editor of Enjoy the Music.com due to a variety of reasons. This month there will be NDAs (non-disclosure agreements) being sent out via e-mail. This concerns us all directly and more will be revealed in the coming weeks. If you receive an NDA from me please sign it and let's get the ball rolling. If for some reason you're keenly interested to this mysterious… shoot me an e-mail and I'll reply accordingly. If for some reason I say now is not the time, it is because certain things need to happen in the proper sequence. First things first and all that. Do not, repeat, do not be shy! There are only a certain amount of e-mails that I can send so…  Please send me an e-mail if you're intrigued and we can go from there.

As always, in the end what really matters is that you...

Enjoy the Music (The world is a party),
