Thank you for posting a link to that article. Note the article's original publish date, 1989. I asked Art Noxon about the back story, it's very interesting.
The Tubes that J. Peter Moncrieff used for review actually came from Monster Cable. For the first year of it's life, the TubeTrap company was a subsidiary of Monster Cable. Noel Lee evaluated the Tube, found they did what audiophiles would want, and took on TubeTraps. Alas, they didn't sell well at first, so Noel and Art parted ways, with Art starting the Acoustic Sciences company. A short time later, the first Peter Moncrieff review came out, and Art couldn't make TubeTraps quickly enough.
This article is the second review Peter did. It formed the basis for what later became the 2C3D Room. This was a collaboration with MIT Cables, Spectral amplifiers, Avalon speakers, and ASC TubeTraps. Using the 2C3D design method, you could create a reference-level 2-channel listening environment that was repeatable anywhere. We still design and build these rooms today.
The article is long, but its full of a lot of useful information. Like the laws of physics, its still true today, 22 years later.
