Stereophile Article - Holt telling it like it is.

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.

Audio death by boomers? No, it will be the Ipod. I am a boomer with nephews in their twenties. They aren't interested in audio, none of their friends are interested in audio. They are interested in downloading music from the internet into their ipods, period. I subscribed to Stereophile during the Holt days.

the industry has alienated 'the everyman'. the expensive esoterica that is sold today,(for the most part),does not capture the imaginations of most people who still find music important. it is 'preaching to the choir' and the audience grows smaller each day.
