Monty is thrilled: "JA gives the PSB Alpha B1 the FULL review treatment. How cool is that? Jim Austin nails down what I have long thought with respect to audio and art. Dudley gets his own budget component to review in the new Rega P1. And, yes, it spins 1% fast. Surprise! It's a Rega! If you thought that Sam would probably be reviewing his own budget component, being the king of frugality and all, you would be wrong! Perhaps the world has turned upside down and the magnetic poles have already shifted?"
