Newmanoc. Rather sad to see you slate Mr. Salvatore the way you do. Having corresponded briefly with him in the past I found him to be well spoken, polite and gentlemanly. Audio is richer having characters like him around and I found his website very insightful, well thought out and for the most part very accurate. Including his comments about the LP12.
You say of Salvatore 'he is just some guy with a blog, a crusty temperament, and no small amount of a persecution complex.', 'dripping with what appear to be best described as his personal issues', 'simply ignorant or passionate beyond rationality', 'sort deep set of personal issues'
I went to the trouble of looking at the list of equipment you posted; out of 11 items you posted, 9 have the Linn brand name. My word! Rather bizarre you would accuse Mr. Salvatore with having 'personal issues' when it is quite clear to see who is having them.
