Another Audiophile obituary

RIP Peter. A voice of reason amongst an audio journalism community that has become mostly hype

There is is a strong anti-objectivist sentiment reflected on these forums. Objectivists must be either deaf or with an agenda while subjectivists hear angels from their fuses or speaker wires. It is distasteful to me that an objectivist is vilified upon his passing. 

"Objectivists must be either deaf...:

Only in your case Shadorne.

>>>>Actually, unless I miss my guess, he wasn’t a voice of reason, he was just an unapologetic naysayer.

>>>>Huh? He was always vilified by real audiophiles when he was alive. Nothing has changed. You’re just trying to rewrite history. He wasn’t an objectivist or a real skeptic or audio critic. He was simply a naysayer and pseudo skeptic. If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck it’s a duck. What you do in life lives after you. 

Skeptics will always be vilified by people who want to believe in magical power cords that sound brilliant.  Completely disregarding that the cable between the power station and your house costs 10 cents a foot.  Plug in a magical conditioner and all will be well.  Magical speaker cable that defies the laws of physics.... ROFL..... RIP Peter

Well the subsequent comments to my remark certainly prove my point. In fact, I cannot think of a more concrete proof that those who dismiss extreme hype are vilified here by the Priests of the Temples of Syrinx.
