Michael Fremer leaves Analog Planet

It will be interesting to see how he fits in at the absolute sound. They have developed such an uptight DNA over the years, and that’s just not him. He is much more irreverent than any of them. I know that he can be contradictory and has annoying faults like we all do, but I like him. I always read his column, and I don’t even own a turntable.

Dear @j-wall  : One way or the other several of us at the begening or at the middle of our audio life learned positive information about analog and it's tru too that over time ( at least me. ) I learned what not to do in analog and not because what MF said in his reviews but because what he did not says.

I don't read it any more but something important is that he makes his works showing the analog news and this is fine with me.

@daveyf  he has a lot of fans but almost gentlemans that started to know about analog no more than 10-15 years and they started not because MF but because audio analog forums as Agon.

Yes, he could be " arrogant " or rude as some of you posted but I have to say that he had a very hard time with discussion with me in Analog Planet and he never  close my posts or banned of his site.

Some of those discussion that almost all were against his statements or around some very low knowledge levels by his self in critical analog subject, these some of those discussions: tonearm/cartridge alignments, SAT tonearm, new Technics TT and tonearm set up, Wilson Audio Center Stage and others.

Yes he was rude with me but at the end he took in count that he was not so rigth as he was thinking and I can tell that he learned and as me never give up.

"" he has had an immense impact on the resurgence of vinyl after the digital onslaught in the late 80's ""

I think that " resurgence " of vinyl can be discussed because almost no one ( artists and record producers/manufacturers. ) from the 80's till today  makes LP recordings with new material or new artist in the industry.

All what we get on vinyl are 7-8 re-issues of the same old recordings and this is not resurgwence but only busine$$ that with or with out MF Acoustic Sounds, Elusive Music, Music Direct and other LP sources will do anyway. That's their way of life not because MF.

As I said I learned all the analog basics mainly for him, not any more and I'm not against him even I borrowed to him my Allaerts MC2 Gold cartridge that he reviewed.

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,

Here one of the threads in Analog Planet. I posted with the name silviajulieta, 3-4 posts at the end part of the thread.

Reading today the thread I can be aware that he fixed some of his mistakes/misunderstood information he posted because does not exist any more.

Anyway, only for your records.

This was other Analog Planet thread and as the other one this one was " fixed " by MF. So he took care of his " guru/expert " analog role he think he has where there is no " land " to errors.. Good for him but really a shame that he fixed all thpse threads after he learned. Yes, he still is a " figure " in audio and I'm not against that:

I think that MF was dishonest to delete some of his posts and fixed other in those threads. because no one are the original whole thread/posts. Pitty.
