Most audiophiles have heard of Harvey "Gizmo" Rosenberg, who was disciple of OTL legend Julius Futterman and went on to found New York Audio Lab.
Gizmo went to Japan in 1982 to try to sell his very heavy and expensive products but was instead shocked by the Japanese SET amps and stuff. After NYAL went bust, Gizmo went back to his commercial art profession but remained an audiophile.
The material here came from my friend and analog guru Andy, who contributes a lot to analog forums (like Lencoheaven) under various monikers. They came from the early 90's during a trip by the New York Audio Society to Gizmo's Connecticut studio. He was using the Tannoy Westminster, Wavac SET amp (and his own NYAL 400W Moscode). CDP was Rotel.

Never Have heard Gizmo's voice before! Thanks so much! Would love to hear any other clips you have of him.
ReplyDeleteWhat tiny amp was he talking about?
I don't think Andy has more clips. The tiny amp must be a SET amp, which are by nature small. MUCH smaller than Gizmo's NYAL amps.
