Stereophile Article - Holt telling it like it is.

That 60's generation that was going to "Change the world" ? They changed it alright. For the worse.

Touche Danlib1, well said. It is rather ironic how the ideology has changed....

All right let's stop pointing fingers at my age group. Bush and I are not peas
in a pod. I don't know what Holt listened to in his time. I know, during his
heyday, of a system that really did sound like the real thing. Only trouble was,
it cost more than a median priced house of the day.

There is still hope...I as a young person would love to see some things get back to the way they were...and personally I will not pick up a copy of stereophile, to me it just is overloaded with adds and no one talking about the music anymore. I don't care how much your system costs, I care about what it sounds like.

Armstrod, he means within the abilities of what is recorded. And as all of those with 'great' systems know, what has been recorded has been "incredible" on countless occasions- way better than what the average audiophile listener can even imagine. Gorden just hates to see a W-l--n deliberately varying from accurate just to 'Sell the sizzle'. I agree with him 100%. Truth is best.

He has a point, but he ought to start by pointing fingers at his buddy, Larry Archibald.

I could say more, but I am trying to be tactful.
