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.

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.
