Michael Fremer leaves Analog Planet

He is clearly very passionate about music, “listen(s) to everything” (all genres), has a subscription to the NY Philharmonic, is very funny, doesn’t care that his listening room looks a mess and is not afraid to make a joke about offering a good review in exchange for gear. And some still wonder why he has so many fans?

That he certainly would.    (DT)   :-)

For those who think Fremer quirky, you should have met Dr Harvey "Gizmo" Rosenberg, soi-disant Thermionic Techno-Shaman.

It's the small touches—note the fire extinguisher?

Now he was a truly eccentric and worthy man.

Fremer is the best writer for anything analog period. I'm just hoping his skin thickens a bit with the new gig.

Fremer described himself best when he quoted a reader who said he was, "a haberdasher to emperors." MF has definitely broadened the analog horizons by writing about many different turntables, cartridges and phono stages over the years. I appreciate and have learned from his passion. Like some others have already said, I do not rely on his opinions for my buying decisions. For that I am more likely to trust the British press and even then you need the salt shaker.
