Quote: JA, it was nice knowing you. I'm sure you will be reticent to come back. Every time you do, people attack you, or at the least, question things you have written or haven't written, reviewed or didn't review, heard or didn't hear, tested or didn't test. As the Bard once wrote, "Methinks thou Slim Devices forum members doth protest too much." If you don't like Stereophile, just don't read it, but I for one, don't think JA should ever have to apologize for his career (and hobby?) choices. Some of us actually have enjoyed over the years his and writing, as well as that of the other Stereohphile reviewers. I probably would not be an audiophile (wannabe) if it weren't for that rag.
Quote I feel the same way here. JA went above and beyond to participate in this forum. Attacking him will not do anyone any favors and makes us look quite boorish. Fanboys have very little credibility except with other fanboys. Lets quit bashing JA and Stereophile and be grateful that they took on the SB! Given that SB does not advertise in SP, it kinda blows the advertising linkage theory out of the water. Why don't we all cool our jets and wait until mid June for the July issue to hit the stands/mailboxes? Then we can really see for ourselves how the review comes out. In the meantime, could we maybe post some constructive ideas for JA in conducting that review? FWIW, the quality of the writing is enough to keep me reading SP even if I lost all interest in hi-fi and music. The writers there can really turn a phrase and it appears that they really work on their pieces to make them entertaining and informative - regardless of whether you agree with the outcome.
