It is know that in addition to basic tastes (I believe bitter, salty, sour, sweet) of the Western culture those “different” Japanese people recognize another taste they call it “Umami”. Umami, if I am not mistaken, is a sense deliciousnes...

Hi Mats:

After years of using the Expressive Technologies SU-1 and SU-2 step up transformers I come across to a fact this morning that the Expressive was reviewed by Robert Harley in June, 1992. I read the Expressive’s preamp review but I never seen this one....
