I feel better than James Brown
I met him at his home in North London, Hamstead, Finchley area iirc. He was selling Stax sytems. He told me to bring some vinyl which he supplied F.O.C anti static inners, at that time first I had heard of them. commented on my shoe choice 'are you an original mod.' I did not purhase anything and he was totally ok with that.

Today in honour of our friend Howard, Myself, Sam, Anthony, Clive, Bill, and Hellen, Dave are meeting some face to face others on ZOOM (digital lies) with Howards Widow.
The plan is to revamp and start Hi-fi Answers up firstly as a Internet thing then as old fashioned paper back version.
Sam and Hellen with luck will be doing the art of music concerts included and ballet. Dave will be doing Jazz reviews (please).
Bill, Dave, Anthony and Clive will be on the kit and how it performs on other kit.
Me I will be doing techy stuff and DIY page including amps and Pre's (no digital lies sorry that will be Bill's Job number two.)
Howards wife Rosanna will be editor in chief, and with luck Sam and Clive will be sub editors and check my spelling and grammar on the techy stuff.
Sounds like fun.

The registrant for that domain is Stereonow Ltd, which is a limited company with Rosanne Popeck as the sole active Director
I would strongly counsel against trying to publish a physical mag. The market for those in tiny and becoming smaller. Look at the various mags that have gone to the wall. It could end up losing a deal of money. Online is the way, but that's a very crowded market.
Hi FI Answers Ltd seems to be dissolved. https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/07341218/filing-history
Very sad news
I went to his house his front room was the demo room.
When he opened subjective Audio I purchased a lot of gear from Howard.
I also went to Steve’s house when he had active isobaric with 3 maim 250 amps one of the best systems at the time
I purchased a login with syrinx pu2 or 3 can’t remember with a koetsu black I had problems with that deck Steve was here resetting it kept going out of tune they then the designer of the login sort it out in the end and sold it and took Steve’s advice and bought a linn.
Vince I remember you helping to get a pair of meridian M10 at a great price Steve had left by then.
Wish I still had the M10
I used to have interesting conversations with Howard
He treated his customers with respect

I've no idea about HFA Ltd but as far as I am aware the title Hi-Fi Answers is still incorporated in the magazine What Hi-Fi? (as would Hi-Fi Sound, Popular Hi-Fi and all the old Haymarket titles) - so whoever owns and published WHF now I guess has the title. And that would now be Future Publishing. Magazine titles used to be registered at Stationers' Hall - don't know how long ago that ended! DGP
