Look folks. All of this is entertainment, OK? Just like professional sports and anything else in life that requires "spectation" on the part of the spectator, either visual or audible, or both. Stereophile, TAS, Hardesty and others are all about entertainment, and that is why I read them. If I get a little "philosophy" or "insight" in the process, and maybe it points me in a direction I want to go in terms of thinking, auditioning or purchasing, that's my choice. If I had no high end system, you can bet that I would find a way to make my JVC boombox satisfy my musical cravings.
Both Michael Fremer and Richard Hardesty have contributed to my education, evaluation and enjoyment of the "spectation" because they have influenced personal choices that I am satisfied with. I have respect for both of them. It is not easy being an entertainer. Neither is right, neither is wrong.
Buyer beware, for both entertainment and for purchases of so-called high end gear. And I did not fail to notice yet another dig at Krell from one contributor here...FASCINATING!
