By Annie St. Jean

Back page: Mountains relected in the mirror-like surface of

the Okanagan’s Chute Lake on a beautiful October afternoon.

We were taking a back-road car hike south from Kelowna to

Naramata, partially to see close-up the damage wrought by the

Okanagan Mountain ire in Summer 2003, but mostly because

it’s a nice (if somewhat bouncy at times) drive.

Editorial

T o paraphrase Mark Twain,

worry, our vinyl-centric focus isn’t going

anywhere! But it is true that very people

have vinyl-only systems, so we’ll be

covering some of that digital stuff every

now and then.

rumours of our death have been

greatly exaggerated! I must

apologise for this issue’s (very) late

arrival: we even missed our own second

birthday, last month! Sufice it to say

that a lot has been happening outside

the magazine that has proved a bigger

distraction than yours truly would have

liked. The distractions haven’t quite

been vanquished yet, but they’re under

control so publication will hopefully

resume its usual schedule (every other

month).

In the next issue, I’ll be reviewing

electronics from Audio Research and

Lyra’s new top-of-the-line cartridge,

the Atlas, and Annie has a listen to

some exotic Italian speakers. In the

meantime, keep spinnin’ that black

magic, and happy listening!

Talking of birthdays, I can’t believe

we’ve been going for two years! My

thanks to all our readers and advertisers

for their continued support. I’m hoping

to expand the magazine in the next

issue or two, so that we can cover more

gear and more records in each issue.

In this issue have a listen to the

Clearaudio Concept MC integrated

turntable, Simaudio’s baby phono

stage, the 110LP, and Annie has been

playing with a high-end DAC. Don’t
