Another Audiophile obituary

With the good comes the bad.....he had an ownership stake in a speaker company that coincidentally received a rave review in his publication without disclosure of the relationship.   He later solicited existing subscribers for a long term subscription renewal at an attractive price.  He subsequently published a few more issues, then disappeared, taking all of the subscriber funds with him.    I think he later tired to resurrect the Audio Critic, without compensating previous subscribers.  

Well all this talk goes to show what happens when you die. They sell your equipment give the opinions about you and talk about you before the dirt under you settles then forget about you the next day. Everybody has their own angle. Enjoy the music everyone before you are dead and gone! 

R.I.P Charles Threatt and David Baskin. Both of you could be hell at times but you both had damn good ears! 

Most people don't know this, but over the past couple of decades, Peter suffered from severe hearing loss.  Like many people of a certain age, he literally could not hear.  You didn't get to see that in print.  While he did have his fans, following Peter Aczel would be the audio equivalent of the blind leading the blind.

RIP Peter. A voice of reason amongst an audio journalism community that has become mostly hype

There is is a strong anti-objectivist sentiment reflected on these forums. Objectivists must be either deaf or with an agenda while subjectivists hear angels from their fuses or speaker wires. It is distasteful to me that an objectivist is vilified upon his passing.
