Have you ever heard of a prof. Hawksford from Essex Univ.?
He seems to be regarded *the* supreme audio prof by some people.
I'm told that "PIP" Owen Jones and "LFD" Richard Bews owe him much.

For the last three years I've owned an LFD Mistral integrated amp, a SS amp
which performed way beyond what its modest price would indicate. This amp was
designed by both Omar Hawksford and Richard Bews.
