I totally agree - but the problem is that "I read what I believe". True audiophiles will dismiss Archimago as another objectivist/meterhead who doesn't understand that true enjoyment can't be measured. Thus his readership will unfortunately always be limited (as long as he stays true to the facts). "To try to judge the real from the false will always be hard.
