Longtime friend and audiophile, Kenneth Krieger, sent us this photo of his intimate listening room. Ken writes, " The new amp rack Sound Anchor stand top holds the VTL ST 85 tube amp with all NOS tubes while, on the bottom are a stacked pair of Odyssey Khartargo Mono Blocks." The speakers are a pair of Merlin TSMBME speakers atop Sound Anchor stands, while the pre amp is a VTL 5.5, again all NOS tubes. Covered to either side behind them are a covered pair of mint Apogee Minor speakers. The kit features various cables and a PS Audio DAC that streams from a Mac Mini server.
"Sounds good to me," he says with a wry smile. A veteran from the U.S. Navy and retired from computer support, Ken lived in Chicagoland for years before he recently moved to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, where he now resides.

By Juan C. Ayllon I was eleven years old when I first glimpsed him on TV.

As a Latin American middle schooler alienated and marginalized by the white majority, Roberto Duran's victories were both vicarious and inspiring -- as no doubt they were for many others who cheered him on.
Fast forward to 2006: as a full-time teacher serving as editor and lead writer for the Cyber Boxing Zone, I was introduced to Duran's daughter, Dalia, through a boxing friend in Florida, and after posting some of her articles on our site, I asked her if she could arrange for me to interview him sometime. She did and what followed was an incredibly long and detailed interview with my childhood hero. Photo of the Day: Vintage Martin Logan reQuest Speakers Play Backdrop to Boxing Pay-Per-Viewer5/6/2020 By Juan C. Ayllon Almost 10 years ago, I had friends over to watch a boxing Pay-Per-View event and during an intermission, one of my guests, with a beer in hand, took it upon himself to mimic the boxers in the ring. This resulting photo was priceless. And standing behind him with its huge, transparent electrostatic panel, one of my vintage Martin Logan reQuest speakers, which my wife Belle had gifted me with, served as silent witness as he shadow boxed for our entertainment.
