(June
9, 2009) Enjoy the Music.com, a leader in consumer electronics
audio equipment and music reviews for approximately 15 years, has
partnered with vintage DIY specialty magazine VALVE (Vintage
Audio And Valve Enthusiasts). As the sixth print magazine to
join Enjoy the Music.com, this further enhances the vast knowledge
of high-end consumer electronics content already available to millions
of readers worldwide. This new alliance further extends the ability to
reach enthusiasts in virtually every facet of high-end audio.
"We are happy to be working with Enjoy the Music.com on this venture," says founder Dan
Schmalle of VALVE magazine and Bottlehead Corporation. "Editor
Steven R. Rochlin and his online magazine have always been supportive of DIY tube audio community events and developments.
VALVE magazine was a seminal DIY tube audio publication in the
pre-Internet days, and we appreciate the ability to bring more exposure to the new wave of
DIYers with some of the early explorations and experiments that led to the growth of Bottlehead as a leader in tube audio kits."
"Having VALVE magazine join
forces with Enjoy the Music.com is a continuation of efforts to
bring high-end electronic consumers, from the DIY hobbyist to those
seeking finely-crafted cost-no-object finished products, to find the
information they crave for on a continual basis," said Editor
Steven R. Rochlin of Enjoy the Music.com. "Joining our
currently available content that encompasses thousands of reviews, over
100 show reports and so much more, VALVE is now firmly planted
with a proper audience. While many online sites might focus on a small niche
of high-end audio, Enjoy the Music.com achieves that and so much
more. I have found that many consumers may enjoy finished products, yet
desire the joys of building their equipment from well thought out kits.
On the other hand, kit builders highly respect the craft and engineering
prowess of top-flight audiophile gear. Each benefits from the other in a
harmonious convergence as the end result is the same. The result being
to further their life's pleasure though the enjoyment of music. Like Sound
Practices, hobbyist publication VALVE will be part of the Enjoy
the Music.com Review Magazine midmonth update."
