I know this one will probably stir the pot but I think this guy deserves some serious recognition for his excellent reviews of new vinyl. His articles are well written, well informed and well thought out. Even when I don't agree with his subjective impression of a given LP I find his reviews to be a great read and often useful. Not something I can say about the majority of audiophile reviews out there. Here are some excellent examples of his record reviews.

Fremer's vinyl reviews are good, no doubt about it. After all he gets to play with what is arguably

the best vinyl playing gear on the planet. If anything is going to allow Fremer to hear deeply into

a record, it's that level of equipment. Record decks like the Walker Proscenium TT are really that

good, especially when partnered with the best phono cartridges. He has access to both.


It's nice that he gets to use such good gear but IMO the reason his reviews are so good is because he does his home work for each review and he is simply a very good writer
