I'm actually the author's son, but I can confirm that yes, he's still happy with it. Remarkably, it seems to have resulted in a permanent remission of what had previously seemed like terminal audiophilia (remodelling the house to properly dampen its resonance, that kind of thing). He has since channelled his obsessive tendencies into digital imaging, which is an altogether more profitable endeavour.

I'm Nathan. Henry is my brother.
