Looks like there are loads of hifi designers/engineers being interviewed on "Home Theater Geeks" - seems a good thing to search youtube for.

Glasto? That's a heck of a long way for you Ali. Are you staying the duration?

Select Audio - contact Stephen Riddick. He's very knowledgeable and a nice chap.

Nelson Pass has some very innovative circuit designs, and quite a different philosophy to most amplifier designers. I'd love to hear one of his designs in a system with sympathetic speakers. I'm not sure how much of a shock it would be to hear a very low distortion design achieved without lots of NFB. I suspect it would take a bit of adjustment to wean my ears/brain off the euphonic distortions I have come to love from my valve amps...

Cheers,
Alex

His preamps are simply the cleanest, most transparent components I've ever heard.
