Audiogon/Asylum and magazine reviewers posts


For whatever reason(s), I have always prefered Audiogon over the Asylum; a few weeks ago there was this post on the Asylum, "Is Stereophile Abstaining From AA ?". Many on here may already know that several reviewers do participate on AudioAsylum. I posted this question to that post, "My question is, why don't they frequent Audiogon as well? Any response JA?" I received the following reply from the reviewer Kal Rubison, "I monitor Audiogon but there's rarely anything worth commenting on."

This post isn't anything against Kal, I was just curious if others that frequent both sites find that AA has more meaningful posts?

I monitor Stereophile, but there is rarely anything in there worth reading.
I couldn't agree more Twl. Listener or even The Absolute Sound have suddenly lept in front of Stereophile. I'm not sure what happened but something sure did....
I wonder if Mr. Rubinson's current opinion has anything to do with the post here back in early June I left regarding his boorish behavior I witnessed in an elevator at the HE show in NYC. I think the thread in which I posted was titled: "Weirdest thing you saw at the show" or, something like that. If he monitors these boards as he says, then he must have seen it.

As to AA, I have frequented it and agree with previous posts as to it's paranoia, name-calling and general Inmate like talk.

Just my 2 cents...
