The psychedelic cover of our February issue reflects two of music's most far-out bands – The Bryd's with their Fifth Dimension LP, this month's Vinyl Icon, and Pink Floyd whose newly-remastered CD, DVD and Blu-ray catalogue is the subject of our in-depth Investigation. The Audio Research brand is no less iconic so we are delighted to feature an exclusive review of its latest stereo power amp, the fabulous REF150, one of a new breed of tube designs to employ the KT120 pentode.
