TNT-audio describes the site ...

"Seen one, you've seen them all, right? Wrong! A couple of months ago our official TNT-Audio Facebook profile received a friendly message, from a certain Stephen Woodmansey, who invited us to visit a new website devoted to HiFi. The name of the website was intriguing: KnobFeel. The subtitle was even better: Reviews based purely on the feel of the knob...Yes! A website that reviews HiFi gear basing evaluation on the feel of the knobs (volume control, mainly).

They don't listen to the components, neither they measure or analyse them...they (he?) just touches the knobs, evaluates the material they're made of, the way these work, whether they rotate off-center or not, if they feel solid, smooth and comfortable etc. "

and the site itself ..

When first getting interested in HiFi in the late 80s, myself and my school friend used to base all our fascination on the eject mechanism of tape decks! Our no.1 for years was of course Bang & Olufsen Beocenter 9000... ;)
