For months, I’ve been following Jim Hagerman’s blog and it’s time I let you know. Hagerman lives in Hawaii and runs his own audiophile company (Hagerman Technology). He designs and builds a variety of high-end audio products. I found his Web site while searching for a turntable-to-USB product. Hagerman offers one called The Ripper, which is available in kit form. I’ve bought the kit and plan to build it, some day when I’ve got the time.
