“The Memory Player represents the leading edge of what might be a revolution in the playback of music. I am privileged to be one of the chosen ones to review a complete Memory Player. It will change Audio history, IT WILL.” Ross Wagner Guest Reviewer, The Absolute Sound |
"The Nova Physics Memory Player is not only the single greatest breakthrough in (theoretical) CD playback technology since its inception in 1982, but also the finest-sounding digital system for playing music in the home that I have ever heard" Scot Markwell Classic Records, Los Angeles, CA TheMusic.com |
of my lifetime. I heard your Memory Player at Stereo Times. Wow! I can't remember the last time that something left me this impressed. I would venture to guess that this should alter the course of music reproduction in the home" Arnis Balgalvis Positive Feedback |
