[Harp-L] Re: Harmony Central

[Michael Easton <diachrome@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've relied on Harmony Central's amp reviews for most of the amps I  
bought the past 8 years.
I've even checked opinions on one's I bought prior to using HC.

You do need to read all the reviews on the given amp. Some guys will  
debunk others on their opinions.
It's good to get both sides of the story.  I even went to the point  
of contacting one guy via email to get a more detail
account of his experience with the amp.

I think I've written 3 or 4 reviews on HC so far in order to provide  
a harp players an opinion on amps that they
might not consider as a harp amp in general.

The rest of us could do likewise.
