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.

I'm sorry, but this guys needs a LIFE! Yes he knows what hes talking about,.... but DAMN(!) he takes all the fun out of audio. He seems like one of those "retro guys" who insist that all things old are better than anything new. I picture him waking around complaining about how "they dont make em' like they used to" bla, bla bla.

This guy is a total retro grouch! I will go to his site only if I cant get to sleep!

Mhubbard, I think of A Salvatore as a "romantic of lucid disappointment." ... Detlof, glad you got the Siemens Geräte I smuggled in and that you are now safe and sound.

Mhubbard, so glad you ain't Ron. That one did not have any sense of humour at all.....Slawney congrats on your splendid definition of poor old salivating Salvo...its a true gem, wished I had thought of it, but then you know how busy I was. So it was Greg in the Bugatti and I was already doing 330 km/h, wondering if I should kick in the methanol, but he swept past so fast, when the thought was through, I saw him crashing through a roadblock of the autobahnpolizei....hope you're allright Greg, we don't want to miss you here!!

Thanks Detlof. I'm trying to negotiate the fine with the bahnpolizei o-fuhrer. Presently we're down to house, wife and what's left of the Bugatti (for the autobahn museum). He hasn't shown interest in the rig -- yet.

Any sugggestions, anyone?

Greg, we have to get ypou out of that fix. shall I come over with my Siemens? You could tell the o-fuhrer that I am a salesman for a new light weight communications system straight out of the Swiss silicon valley. It can even imitate cowbells and cuckoo clocks. If he falls for it, we can give him the treatment and make a brake for it. What do you think? Has anybody got a better idea???
P.S.: I think we should also salvage the Bugatti, shouldn't we?
