Arthur Salvatore WoW comments??

Anyone ever read about this audio critic? his site is at http://www.high-endaudio.com/ but for the real deal go there and scroll down to 'audio critique' and click on that link and you will not be able to stop reading. i recommend reading his 'philosophy' first and then his 'recommended components list' - although i know you guys will reverse that order; it was worth a try.
This guy has some very interesting things to say about audio and has really gotten hot and heavy with the top magazines and he's published his heated correspondences with them and you'll love it.
Please comment here after reading about this guy.

Gregg: I always found Hine Rare & Delicate to be the best bang for the buck in recent years (I sold specialty food, wine and liquor for 7 years).

D-K, thanks for the tip! Regarding cheapo cognac, Detlof, I remember (a drunk) N. Simone yrs ago spitting out a gde champagne and screaming for a glass of the cafe stuff. BTW at don't you find that cognac makes the system sound worse the morning after?

What was the subject, again??

Heinz Cognac yes, Gregg, Hine not, but basically its true, the highs make funny things to your brain and bass drums or double base rudely plucked and manhandled get your synapses out of joint. After a cold glass of beer, the rig starts slowly to sound better. ....and to hell with the subject, make it a thread for higher nonsense.....possibly we'll find method in the madness...all this is better than talking about Salvatore, where, though he would probably like it, his nomen non est omen.

Yes, but what about the background noise that the beer creates, not to mention the sound of the toilet constantly flushing after 2-3 hours into the drinking/listening session. My current cocktail (not by choice) is 10mg Methadone/100MG Zoloft/4 mg Zanaflex. Sometimes I just listen to the same CD over and over as I don't feel like getting up to cahange it.
