REVIEWER
Alistair McKeough
Alistair inherited a love for music and audio equipment from his father. He was born to play with audio gear but is now forced to work. When not working, he can usually be found in his acoustically treated man cave, listening to music or playing with equipment. His journey has come a long way from obsessive beginnings searching for higher quality cassette tapes and a better Walkman and headphone set up.
