  • Good Job Alaina and TFN Team!

    Thrilled to see the Official TFN Newsletter come to audio life. Great effort! I am a big fan. But will a 6090 cost $10,000? This is what I am here for : )

  • More Official Newsletter

    I’ve been waiting years, and finally a spoken version of the Official Newsletter. I just hope it makes an annual appearance in future Aprils; it feels too much to hope for weekly delivery to my ear holes.

  • They’ve just become too long

    An hour was enough, two hours is too much, and three hours is ridiculous. And there’s too much Adam. He adds little to the show and controls even less.
