The quotes below date from 2004-2008 except for the first award listed below which was from 2005. We thank them for
their open mindedness, and willingness to accept the possibility that the status quo that has kept CD reading fidelity
development stagnated for 25 YEARS, should be questioned.
When sequential Memory Playback using RUR ™ (Read Until Right) instead of Reed-Solomon and other error
concealment devices was first achieved by the Nova Physics Group in early 2004, a curiously fanatical opposition
took place within the HEA community and more so, in many High End Audio forums.
Today, many of those very same detractors now produce

From the outset we have maintained that to ignore the
improvements in CD READING from simple “tweaks”

these results to fit our limited knowledge was absurd.
Obviously something was going on.Few who challenged us
could even read RUR ™ or even

This afternoon I had one of the most significant audio
experiences of my life. I heard your Memory Player at StereoTimes.
Wow! I can't remember the last time that something left me this impressed.
I would venture to predict that this should alter the course of music reproduction in the
home. [Until] I heard your product at (Clement) Perry's yesterday. I have to confess that
I could not envision that the improvement in the playback of a Red Book
CD could be that dramatic.
I envision great things for your product. People will now have to completely reexamine
the possibilities of the "lowly" 44.1/16 format. It may sound dramatic, but I feel that this
the beginning of a new era in digital sound reproduction… I cannot recall any analog
demo that was that impressive!
I hope this goes down in history as a significant development.

The Memory Player is incredible. When you (Clement
Perry, The Stereo Times) played being reviewed at The
Stereo Times) through The Memory Player it went to a
completely other level. The tone of the instruments
became so true that it was scary.(I know because I'm
playing on it and know what it sounded like when we
were recording!)
My cymbals sounded exactly like they sound with all of
the nuances that only I can hear because have an

What I had read previously did not prepare me for this – the reviewers too something you have
just experienced for the first time to someone who hasn’t yet experienced something. Like the
first orgasm.
I have owned two of the most highly regarded digital front ends extant, the aforementioned) as
well as the Forsell, Lector, Stibbert, Theta, Spectral and on and on. I have listened to almost
all the others out there. The Memory Player is so different in its presentation that it is difficult
for me to describe exactly what I hear. What I had read previously did not prepare me for this –
the reviewers too conservative or maybe you just can’t understand by reading about it w/o
hearing it. In fact I am sure that is true - because it is hard to describe something you have just
experienced for the first time to someone who hasn’t yet experienced something. Like the first
orgasm.
Even CD’s that I could not tolerate listening too at my preferred listening level, or even much
lower levels - such as Dave Matthews, Crash - which always sounds like a harsh discordant
mixture of sounds- to wit : cacophonous -when all of the various instruments and sounds are
played simultaneously.
Heretofore I thought it was just a lousy recording – but it is somehow decongested – the
original previously unrevealed integrity maintained.
It seems to me that all other CD playback somehow truncates the notes and voices to some
small or large degree - the truncation somehow gets filled in with what then sounds
unnatural, harsh, artificial - maybe that is what jitter is -Idon’t know. By way of analogy - One
could speak the sentence “I am going to the store in one hour”- if that sentence were
somehow morphed into being music- it would have a flow to it, a naturalness – but to me
normal CD digital sounds like someone saying “I go store hour”- basically we know what the
sentence is – but if it was music - it would be choppy, incomplete, robbed of some of the
beauty that sounds and music convey. Now imagine six, eight, ten or more instruments all at
the same time saying, “I go store hour”. Its seems that the normal CD playback creates the
missing words with a substitute, and sometimes it does it better than others, or it doesn’t
create the missing at all, and it is in those spaces, the missing words or missing parts of a
note or voice- that the harshness, the fatigue, the sterility occur and more importantly some
precious music, some magical quality is lost. I don’t know what the Memory Player does or
how - but it allows for an unimpeded flow that seems devoid of artificial filler- it allows the
precious parts, the clues that tell us we are listening to musicians and instruments played by
them, to come through…
Virtually every CD I put into Memory Playback sounded considerably better than I had ever
heard it before – surprisingly and particularly on those that I had found to be “poorly recorded”.
Not that the good recordings weren’t better- they were - but the “poor ones “ were transformed
to good….
But not now. Hence SACD and normal CD playback are no longer viable
options. If I were making them – I would stop. This is not just a better CD
player. It is a different experience.

I thought CD development had gone as far as it could
go,and significant progress in near state-of-the-art
playback equipment, along comes a unique
technological breakthrough that knocks my
socks off….when Perry (Clement Perry,
The Stereo Times) fired up the Memory Player,
I didn’t expect any really noticeable
improvement. Boy, was I wrong!
Gone was the last vestige of digititis, that peculiar
distortion that often seems to be part of CDs
Perry calls it High Fi Hype, as good a
description as any. To say that I was
impressed is an understatement.
For me, the Memory Player puts the final nail in the
coffin of high-resolution formats, SACD and DVD-A.
By adding the Memory Player to my system, it will be
as if I replaced my entire CD collection!

The best digital units available do a better job of minimizing digital problems, but not
eliminating them. When you hear the Memory Player side- by- side with the Stibbert, you
realize how far short conventional digital processing falls from recreating the live (or
recorded) musical events' pacing, imaging, timing, upper-mid to high frequencies, and
musical ease.
Considering that digital manufacturers have been struggling with these exact same
issues for over 20 years, one wonders why someone hasn't decided to think outside the
box, That someone is Mark Porzilli.
It occurred to him that the only way to eliminate digital playbacks' inherent problems was
to start with a fresh sheet of paper. His better mousetrap idea? Download the reduce the
errors. Then, play it back directly from anon-mechanical memory, eliminating the focus,
timing, and jitter problems inherent with a laser reading a disc spinning on a mechanical
transport. What could be simpler?
Using the Memory Player built-in volume control (no signal loss I could detect), this is
because the volume control is ANALOG. ALL digital volume controls drop bits) saves the
cost of a preamp, an additional power cord, shelving and isolation devices.I have friends
with extraordinary turntable rigs that cost much more than a full tilt Memory Player, and yet
the Memory Player is in another league from them, too. My sense is you would have to use
15-30 master tapes in an attempt to level the field, but why? The $64,000 question for
those with a huge LP investment: "Does the Memory Player record their precious
vinyl?
If it does, an Digital Recorders. One records 16bit, the other records in 24bit or as high as
32bit.). Caution: Once you've experienced the Memory Player in your own home, the hook
is set. Long live the new king.

The Nova Physics Memory Player invented by by Mark Porzilli 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,
I am one of those people for whom CDs never really mattered much. Not only did I own a sizeable (4000+) LP collection that I had toted around with me
for the last 37 years without ever giving up on it, but ever since I heard the first CDs and players I was just not impressed. Early CD sound was not
anything to write home about at all except to complain how it sucked. And then it was back to those records, many of which I still to this day have not
managed to have even the first listen to. So program material was never a problem.
The problem always was that I had been indoctrinated into live orchestral music before the age of 10 and I was smitten from the first. Many folks these
days scoff at the mere notion that actual live acoustic music is a good thing to compare against home stereos because they feel that, since there is no
way that any home system could ever approach the full fidelity of a symphony orchestra, it is a futile gesture to make such comparisons. I say that this is
total bunk, and demonstrably false. Here is why: if one goes habitually to live orchestral concerts, jazz clubs, concerts of vocal music in churches, and the
like, one easily and quickly develops an ear for what supporting acoustics sound like, good and bad, what various instruments sound like when played in
different-sized venues, how ensemble playing sounds when played loudly and softly, etc.
After a little time, a careful listener can easily develop a reasonable auditory recall, and be able to discern fairly subtle sonic differences between halls,
musicians, and styles of instruments, in a similar manner that any decent rock guitar player can hear the difference between a Stratocaster and a Les
Paul. This translates directly to the home stereo listening experience, and it is in that arena that early CD showed its ass to the world at large and mostly
nobody saw it, as they were too busy taking in the features and convenience of the new format.
It was pretty obvious, even to this writer as a young 23 yr-old in 1982, that early CD playback left a lot to be desired. It was harsh, edgy, lacking in real
orchestral weight and body, and certainly did not have the sense of almost endless bandwidth and lack of a high- frequency “lid” on the musical playback
experience that LPs had, and I, for one, went away from this early experience simply not caring about CDs and turning, once more, to my beloved records
in order to get as close to the concert experience as I could. This is not to say that my (at the time pretty basic/primitive…) stereo system sounded like the
real thing. Far from it. But the difference was that if I put on a good record and I closed my eyes, I could begin to suspend disbelief and find myself falling
into the rhythms of the music and the
emotional impact of the experience.
By way of comparison, when listening to CDs (always at someone else’s house), I never got the same effect. I always had a shorter
attention span, the emotion just did not seem to come through, and inevitably I would get bored or restless or both and want to do
something else besides sit and listen to music. Not a great way to spend time, I thought, and so once again back to the records I would go.
Fast forward 30+ years, and here we are with CDs that sound better than ever and sometimes actually really good, as well as 24/96 & 24/192 DVD
sound, as well as SACD. Digital today is actually pretty darn good in many respects. Still not on par with records, but often listenable and enjoyable
enough, as long as one did not make a habit of listening to LPs.
Now we jump to the present day, and have a listen to Mark Porzilli’s (famous and crazed inventor and chief designer of Melos Audio electronics,tubed &
solid state, the original Pipedreams, & now the Scaena Loudspeakers all over 28 years) latest brain-child, The Memory Player. Not only does it put a fresh
new face on CD playback, but it has changed the face of what we know as conventional 16/44 digital technology to show that not only is “regular Red
Book” CD now acceptable to listen to as music, but it handily eclipses, in sonic quality, any currently available CD system, regardless of price.
This is a big statement, but one easily confirmed with just a little listening. The MP takes the digital information form a CD, strips it of all digital information
except for the original music bits, and spits it back out in a stream of sublimely indescribable music that literally must be heard to be believed. It is as if
one is listening to the original master tape of the musical event in all of its original glory, and as close to pure analog playback via a top LP as I have ever
heard, and let me tell you that I have heard a lot of records and rigs to play them on.
The MP manages to neatly overcome all of the limitations of CD playback in one fell swoop. In addition to a more organic, flowing
sense of actual music coming out of the speakers, the MP totally does away with the artificial-sounding high-frequency “lid” that has always been an
intrinsic part of the CD experience. Now, no one will claim that a poor-sounding CD can be made to sound like a masterpiece, but invariably any give CD
takes on a new-found sense of body and harmonic fullness, along with an analog-like sense of musical and sonic continuousness that is both seductive
and emotionally comforting in a way that no digital playback has ever been in this reporter’s experience. The ability of the listener to simply wallow in the
musical excitement of a recording that he has heard many times, now sounding as if he has literally heard it for the first time, can be overwhelming and
routinely takes even serious, experienced listeners aback.
The implications of the MP go way beyond simple listening. This is a device, with the simple addition of an extra line-level input, which can serve as the
lone audio system centerpiece in a newly-dawning era of musical playback in the home. Many folks out there in the world own sizable CD collections that
can easily tend to get out of hand and become somewhat unmanageable. With a MP with a large hard drive/music storage, these consumers can now
load up their collections server-style, but with a decidedly superior sonic edge: all of the files that the MP extracts and stores on the Music Library can be
copied to the Memory Stick and played back with the ultimate in fidelity to the original master the CD was made from, without any of the anomalies that are
part and parcel to the daily life of CD listeners. Freed from these constraints and able to load and play any CD extant with a level of musical fidelity that
has been impossible for more than 20 years, the MP is in line to take its proper and exalted place in the long line of classic components that allow the
listener to get as close to the music as possible without actually going to the live event.
The MP is a one-stop CD solution, and with the addition of another analog input the possibilities for endless musical enjoyment seem boundless. I
envision even pros in studios using the storage and playback capabilities of the MP to their great advantage in order to really hear what they have
mastered without having to have access to the actual master tapes.

PS: I think that it may be beneficial to relate the stories of some people who have come to the shop and heard the Memory Player. All of them have had a
similar experience.
First there was me. I immediately heard what the player was doing and I became very impressed and excited, and got my boss, Mike Hobson, all juiced
up to hear it. But first, Dan Schwartz (formerly long-timer of TAS) came by and had a listen to some of his CDs in a regular player and then the MP, and he
immediately declared that the MP removed all of his long-standing objections to the CD format, and that he wanted to buy one. Then a customer who
came in to listen to some speakers that I had for sale listened to the MP. As soon is he heard the demo of his CD play in the regular player and then the
MP he jumped out of his chair and danced around and smiled real big and declared that this was the best thing he ever heard and that he had to have
one and that he would be back in 2 months.
Anyone who listens to this amazing device is immediately smitten with it and what it does.
To experience it is to want it. ...............................................................................................................................the best digital reproduction on the planet!

like, one easily and quickly develops an ear for what supporting acoustics sound like, good and bad, what various instruments sound like when played in
different-sized venues, how ensemble playing sounds when played loudly and softly, etc.
After a little time, a careful listener can easily develop a reasonable auditory recall, and be able to discern fairly subtle sonic differences between halls,
musicians, and styles of instruments, in a similar manner that any decent rock guitar player can hear the difference between a Stratocaster and a Les
Paul. This translates directly to the home stereo listening experience, and it is in that arena that early CD showed its ass to the world at large and mostly
nobody saw it, as they were too busy taking in the features and convenience of the new format.
It was pretty obvious, even to this writer as a young 23 yr-old in 1982, that early CD playback left a lot to be desired. It was harsh, edgy, lacking in real
orchestral weight and body, and certainly did not have the sense of almost endless bandwidth and lack of a high- frequency “lid” on the musical playback
experience that LPs had, and I, for one, went away from this early experience simply not caring about CDs and turning, once more, to my beloved records
in order to get as close to the concert experience as I could. This is not to say that my (at the time pretty basic/primitive…) stereo system sounded like the
real thing. Far from it. But the difference was that if I put on a good record and I closed my eyes, I could begin to suspend disbelief and find myself falling
into the rhythms of the music and the
emotional impact of the experience.
By way of comparison, when listening to CDs (always at someone else’s house), I never got the same effect. I always had a shorter
attention span, the emotion just did not seem to come through, and inevitably I would get bored or restless or both and want to do
something else besides sit and listen to music. Not a great way to spend time, I thought, and so once again back to the records I would go.
Fast forward 30+ years, and here we are with CDs that sound better than ever and sometimes actually really good, as well as 24/96 & 24/192 DVD
sound, as well as SACD. Digital today is actually pretty darn good in many respects. Still not on par with records, but often listenable and enjoyable
enough, as long as one did not make a habit of listening to LPs.
Now we jump to the present day, and have a listen to Mark Porzilli’s (famous and crazed inventor and chief designer of Melos Audio electronics,tubed &
solid state, the original Pipedreams, & now the Scaena Loudspeakers all over 28 years) latest brain-child, The Memory Player. Not only does it put a fresh
new face on CD playback, but it has changed the face of what we know as conventional 16/44 digital technology to show that not only is “regular Red
Book” CD now acceptable to listen to as music, but it handily eclipses, in sonic quality, any currently available CD system, regardless of price.
This is a big statement, but one easily confirmed with just a little listening. The MP takes the digital information form a CD, strips it of all digital information
except for the original music bits, and spits it back out in a stream of sublimely indescribable music that literally must be heard to be believed. It is as if
one is listening to the original master tape of the musical event in all of its original glory, and as close to pure analog playback via a top LP as I have ever
heard, and let me tell you that I have heard a lot of records and rigs to play them on.
The MP manages to neatly overcome all of the limitations of CD playback in one fell swoop. In addition to a more organic, flowing
sense of actual music coming out of the speakers, the MP totally does away with the artificial-sounding high-frequency “lid” that has always been an
intrinsic part of the CD experience. Now, no one will claim that a poor-sounding CD can be made to sound like a masterpiece, but invariably any give CD
takes on a new-found sense of body and harmonic fullness, along with an analog-like sense of musical and sonic continuousness that is both seductive
and emotionally comforting in a way that no digital playback has ever been in this reporter’s experience. The ability of the listener to simply wallow in the
musical excitement of a recording that he has heard many times, now sounding as if he has literally heard it for the first time, can be overwhelming and
routinely takes even serious, experienced listeners aback.
The implications of the MP go way beyond simple listening. This is a device, with the simple addition of an extra line-level input, which can serve as the
lone audio system centerpiece in a newly-dawning era of musical playback in the home. Many folks out there in the world own sizable CD collections that
can easily tend to get out of hand and become somewhat unmanageable. With a MP with a large hard drive/music storage, these consumers can now
load up their collections server-style, but with a decidedly superior sonic edge: all of the files that the MP extracts and stores on the Music Library can be
copied to the Memory Stick and played back with the ultimate in fidelity to the original master the CD was made from, without any of the anomalies that are
part and parcel to the daily life of CD listeners. Freed from these constraints and able to load and play any CD extant with a level of musical fidelity that
has been impossible for more than 20 years, the MP is in line to take its proper and exalted place in the long line of classic components that allow the
listener to get as close to the music as possible without actually going to the live event.
The MP is a one-stop CD solution, and with the addition of another analog input the possibilities for endless musical enjoyment seem boundless. I
envision even pros in studios using the storage and playback capabilities of the MP to their great advantage in order to really hear what they have
mastered without having to have access to the actual master tapes.

PS: I think that it may be beneficial to relate the stories of some people who have come to the shop and heard the Memory Player. All of them have had a
similar experience.
First there was me. I immediately heard what the player was doing and I became very impressed and excited, and got my boss, Mike Hobson, all juiced
up to hear it. But first, Dan Schwartz (formerly long-timer of TAS) came by and had a listen to some of his CDs in a regular player and then the MP, and he
immediately declared that the MP removed all of his long-standing objections to the CD format, and that he wanted to buy one. Then a customer who
came in to listen to some speakers that I had for sale listened to the MP. As soon is he heard the demo of his CD play in the regular player and then the
MP he jumped out of his chair and danced around and smiled real big and declared that this was the best thing he ever heard and that he had to have
one and that he would be back in 2 months.
Anyone who listens to this amazing device is immediately smitten with it and what it does.
To experience it is to want it. ...............................................................................................................................the best digital reproduction on the planet!

...it has the uncanniest ability to relay space and voice
authenticity. In this, you get a sense of real people in the
room and the performance taking on such a natural quality,
not from a tone perspective but from a spatial one that it can
be undeniably hard to quantify, much less try to hear at first
grasp.
It gets the music out.
It also won't sound as thick on important bottom octaves,
which can cloud bass fundamentals. This thing has quite an
amazingly transparent signature, or the lack thereof. It is
easily the most graceful sounding digital transport I've ever
heard... Nothing has ever served the music to me in this
manner… The Memory Player’s ability to render the illusion of
space is the best I've heard.
Months later, descriptions of hosting many demonstrations as an owner of
The Memory Player :
Their first impressions (of hearing The Memory Player) werethe
equivalent of a UFO landing on my front lawn.
Obviously,
The Memory Player way out shined the others (digital drives
used in the tests at The Stereo Times) to the point that Ross
Wagner (The Audiophile Voice-TAS) thought I was using it
wrong [he asked me if it was defective, so large was the
improvement]. Stranger things have been said, but one thing
is certain. This baby sounds better, rather more musically
correct and thus authentic of music than anything I've had
digital thus far.

...my impressions after two listening sessions AND based on
my strong expertise in having many years in listening to your
(RW of TAV) system and its growth over the years- a system
that I know with great knowledge and awareness of all subtle
changes over those years.
Added to this is the fact that we (Ross Wagner, David
Nemzer) own or have owned many of the same pieces of
equipment so our knowledge of how "it" sounds is based
upon mutual experience with the same equipment.
Also much more natural in timbre- doesn't matter if its
classical or pop voice. The bottom frequencies are also much
better in their control and focus. Usually when louder, it gets
boomy but not with The Memory Player. Orchestral
presentation also is better in the separation of instruments in
space. All in all the sound is much more natural and pleasing
While I have no technical ability to agree with or refute what
The Memory Player is doing and why it does it I can say with
total confidence that what it is doing is extraordinary! We
both (Ross Wagner, TAV, TAS) own the Pipedreams and we
both are using the same (Melos 400W Triode) amps; the
difference in your system with The Memory Player is radical.
Your image is much more size correct than before The
Memory Player. All instruments are more natural in their
timbre and the spatial relationship of the instruments in the
classical orchestra is much improved. Bass extension has so
much more control and clarity; lower strings on the double
bass are audible with the clarity of vibrato in those bowed
strokes so much!
Where The Memory Player really scares me is with the
human voice- Physical size of the singer is amazingly correct
with the sound seemingly coming from a physical person and
not out of the darkness of the recording background. I refer
to the same Tebaldi recording I always use. The subtle
vibrato in some of her words have never been so audible as
they are with the Memory She IS standing there singing to
me!!!

The Memory Player is staying here. The sound of Memory Player
through the Melos (MAT-1000, 400W Triode Monoblocks &
Pipedreams model 21) is the best ever in this system, by a
substantial margin. Can't be giving that up. With Memory Player,
things have come to life...like kicking your spurs into the flank of an old
nag. Very clean....very detailed...very musical.
...with very high quality CD's, where there is a lot of info to extract, and
where the CD was carefully recorded and mastered, hardly matters
how loud you play it...stays tight. The Memory Player adds
dimensionality and fascination to the audio
experience.
A CD copy burned (on The Memory Player) can be better than the
original CD had ever been heard! A remarkable piece of technology!
The Memory Player adds dimensionality and fascination to the audio
experience.
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 .

…affectionately called The Memory Player,
playback then comes strictly from the memory
(no moving parts) with one of the purist
sound reproductions I've ever heard. During
my initial listening experience - it reminded
me of the very best of analog with tube
electronics!!! Absolutely zero digital artifacts
and when compared to another superb and
musically outstanding digital player - as CP
(Clement Perry, The Stereo Times)
would say...."GAME OVER!" Basically, no
contest - not even close by any standards.
Once you hear something like the Memory
Player, it will make you think about the
limitations of standard CD playback and
possibly rethink your next move.

"Copycats" - 1998, mgp
Feng Shui and the Nova Physics Memory Player
by Leonard Tan,
The Revelation Room,
Singapore
www.therevelationroom.com
In recent years there has been a global growing interest in the ancient arts and sciences. Witness the mushrooming number of spas offering
Ayurvedic and other traditional natural healing and cleansing treatments. The concept of Vaastu Shastra, the ancient Indian art of building
deals with various aspects of designing and building living environments that are in harmony with the physical and metaphysical forces.
Building practices based on limited interpretations of these principles are still sustained in parts of India. Though Vastu is conceptually
similar to Feng Shui in that it also tries to harmonize the flow of energy (Also called life-force, and Prana in Sanskrit, similar to Chi in
Chinese) through the house, it differs in the details, such as the exact directions in which various objects, rooms, materials etc are to be
placed.
What has the ancient science and art have to do with a modern technology like digital audio? We could use something hokey as an analogy
like “transcendence” for example and liken the Nova Physics Memory Player (NPMP) to some mysterious ancient science and art that is most
trendy these days. Like how the plethora of high end audio devices (both passive and active) available today that are touted with the same
mysticism and allure of Vaastu or Feng Shui to describe their performance and effectiveness.
The simple truth is that the NPMP does ”harmonize the flow of energy”through one’s audio system in the digital domain. It’s take on Redbook
CD and higher resolution digital audio is so fundamentally correct that it as redefined the benchmark in this overcrowded and confused
segment of the audio universe.
Are you aware that the mathematics upon which ALL digital software is based was discovered in the 1960s? Neither did we till Nova Physics
did a rethink on digital playback. The math is known as the Reed–Solomon Error Correction Code or ECC. “ECC” appears on the back of
your digital gear and on virtually every digital medium e.g. CDs and not many people understand the limitations of ECC for music playback.
But then not many people are Mark Porzilli either and you would expect nothing less from the mind of a once child genius.
Yes he is the same man who gave us Melos Electronics and Pipedreams loudspeakers. After languishing with the mediocrity around him
Mark together with George Bischoff and Rod Handley decided to combine their collective brilliance to address ECC’s shortcomings for digital
playback. In true Porzilli style he has completely turned the audio world on its pivot and once again rewritten the rules on how audio should
be correctly reproduced. As we have witnessed with Mark’s last company we guarantee the imitators will once more follow the leader as
evidenced by one other (overly marketed manufacturer) who is about to launch his own “memory” player.
The firm of Porzilli, Bischoff & Handley is flattered indeed. Their new digital playback systems will redefine your expectations and enjoyment
of reproduced music. Guaranteed! There are numerous developments on the horizon that we are certain will surprise many in the industry
and they will be announced when the time is appropriate. Please visit http://www.novaphysicsgroup.com/ for more information and details.
Oh we are also are the Asia Pacific distributors for Nova Physics and so yes we are biased and we just absolutely feel that the Nova Physics
Memory Player performs at a level that will embarrass the established and challenge all comers.
