THE MORE THE BETA!

After 4 months doing the rounds of GSPaudio-community volunteers, the UK Beta-test Novo headphone amplifier arrived safely back at base.

I would like to thank all beta-testers for giving their time and publishing their findings.

The Question is, if we made every new or improved product available for beta-test, would there be sufficient people interested in testing them?

The beta-reviews of the Novo have been found to be more useful by would-be customers than magazine reviews, particularly because of the much wider collection of peripheral equipment used with it when viewed collectively.

Also, the private individual's opinion could be taken as being more of a honest one than a magazine who's survival depends on advertising budgets.

I would like to be able to compile a data-base of beta-testers, listing their particular interests - for example: some may not have vinyl and therefore would not be up for phono preamp tests.

Please PM me with your thoughts and/or answer here.

Thank you - you're on the list!

Graham, beta testing is both rewarding and hard work. The testers need IMO to list what the gear they have and use for the comparison. The type of music used as well as similar equipment needs to be listed so that others can use it as a frame of reference.

No, its the electrostatic.
