Michael Fremer leaves Analog Planet

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.

Mike is a walking, talking anthropomorphic inappropriate joke, just waiting for a chance to embarrass itself whenever he meets or interacts with an actual (and unsuspecting) human being. Its self appointed position as the coolest and funniest joke ever told, is frequently revealed while he stops to explain the attempted  humor that is so trite, juvenile, contrived, stretched, overused and/or inadequate, the words never stand on their own to the point that they produce a laugh. His poor victims smile through his mocking attempts to marginalize their culture, intellect, design acumen, patois, regional and national accents, style of dress, choice of equipment, body type, hair, lunch or the car they drive. If you didn’t grow up Fremer, you’re just not worth respecting, unless associating with you validates the walking, talking joke as the coolest walking, talking joke, which is all the bad joke really wants, besides free stuff. Don’t forget the often present punchline where the joke asks for your stuff as a memento for having come to your place of business so the joke can make a monetized YouTube video at your expense. See, you owe him for that, and it’s his way of telling you that, even if he claims it’s only a joke when you don’t immediately comply or offer up. Don’t worry, he’s experienced. He knows your embarrassment will eat at you and he’ll soon make you another offer to get rid of your stuff. Go ahead and comply this time. That’s when the tone changes and suddenly he’ll trip on himself trying to get out a few lines of praise to make you feel better about having been robbed.
