roberjerman"The two Peters (Aczel and Moncrieff) remain the best objectivest reviewers in print to this day! And hated by the "golden ears" crowd!" This is completely false as anyone with any actual experience reading they're magazines knows while it is true that they called themselves objectivists they were both extremely subjective reviewers they dismissed all kinds of verifiable repeatable observable evidence because it did not fit with their belief system which was very much "faith based" and anyone who did not embrace promote and support they're faith was ridiculed and ostracized they portrayed themselves as exceptional tellers of the truth but in fact had very much Jim Jones like qualitys. They were cultists and hifi is full of people who want you to follow them blindly wherever they may lead. |
Peter Aczel was a man of strong views but he had an enormous amount of experience in audio. He could be described as the James Randi (supernatural sceptic/ buster) of the audio world. His views were never refuted and its unlikely they ever will be. I'm sure most people involved in Hi-Fi journalism/entertainment (?) would rather he was quietly forgotten. It's difficult to refute evidence of blind tests where the sound of a straightened coat hanger is indistinguishable from a pair of $2000 interconnects. Thank you for your work Peter. |
