Best Audio Writing of 2017?


Hi Everyone,

I've been completely away from the usual list of magazines last year, and barely glanced at the publisher's websites. I thought I would come here and start a thread on the best articles you read last year. Not best products, just best most informative or useful or well written articles.

Please post links with your praises. Please leave the "worst" articles for another thread, or this will devolve into troll fights.

Best,

E

There aren't any that I dislike. Herb is a great writer but I don't necessarily trust his opinion as he never has a bad thing to say about anything. In writing and also gear I identify most with Art Dudley. He played a small part in making me the Shindo-whore I am today.

Everything else does not really matter.
I don't know where to put this, but on checking the Ayre website yesterday, I found the notice that Charles Hansen has passed on Dec 28.
After many years, I have ended up with several Ayre components, and admire the consistent engineering ideas that were expoused by his company. Regrets on his passing to his company and family.

Anything by Art Dudley.  I find many of his views have become mine after so many years of listening.  And he is a very fine writer, the main reason (along with Mr. Fremer) that I continue to subscribe to Stereophile.
