Michael Fremer leaves Analog Planet

I miss Art.  I always got the impression that Art knew he was living on borrowed time, so there was no bull in him.

@teo_audio: Without Art Dudley, Stereophile is barely worth reading (I have a complete collection of his Listener magazine). I stick around for John Atkinson's amplifier and loudspeaker measurements.

When Fremer was originally with TAS, he never missed an opportunity to badmouth Stereophile. Wonder if he'll repeat himself. 

Too bad Fremer is going back to TAS. I was hoping he'd go back to being a divorce attorney!

I am a fan of MF and anyone who enjoys vinyl should appreciate what he has done to resurrect the medium. Most of the gear he has reviewed the last few years has been out of my price range but I still read the reviews anyways.

I will say the same thing here that I just posted on AP. 

Let's take a simple look at history.

Tyll Hertsens WAS InnerFidelity and once he was gone the website by that name died. Gone.
Michael Lavorgna left Audio Stream (or was let go, can't recall, don't care) and Audio Stream became useless and to my knowledge is no-more.
If you scroll to the bottom of this page you will see that AP is the last of the many spin-off websites and it too will go the way of the Dodo.
It is interesting to me that S'phile published Mike Fremer's review of the top Grado cartridge just two days ago. And there is no mention of his leaving on the Stereophile website. Yet. I respect Jim Austin. I suspect and hope he will say something appropriate, true, and with class.
