WHT HISTORY (cont.)

The sound of instruments, particularly violins and double basses, were quite different to what I had become accustomed to playing as a live musician. On one particular system, listening to a favorite Brubeck track I became aware that the snare was completely omitted in the mix. I checked the system wiring just to see if the mid section was disconnected but it was all intact. I was absolutely shocked and made a point of checking the Cd's mix on my home stereo through headphones to see if anything drastic had happened to the CD. As soon as the track began playing, the snare had reappeared.

A typical question from audiophiles was; How does my system compare to the other systems you've had the chance to audition?

My question to them became, Is your reference another system, or a live musical performance?
I suddenly realized that I could offer something fresh to the market, which was formerly absent.

Subsequently I began my "Scoop/Reflector" project with a relatively small budget and 10 years after the fact, my own WHT PR1 was being tuned to my private recordings."
