Another breakthrough for Brother Horace the Impotent.

The turntable-feedback article was in the October, 1984
issue of Stereo Review. Actually, David Ranada contributed
so much to the editing,

Inviting Mr. Ranada to fix your raggedy sketch of an article was a smart
move, Clerkie.

Ranada was not invited. He added additional material to what
was already there.

Incidentally, I can assure you that he would seriously
disagree with most of the subjectivist twaddle we find
posted on RAO.

Must have been a rare moment of clarity for you to realize
that you were not capable of writing intelligently about a subject that
scares the pants off you. One can only imagine the hyena-like yowling an
editor would get from you on the subject of turntables. Clearly a real
audio journalist was needed to inject some semblance of rigor into your
puddle of vinylphobic goo. Congratulations on admitting your limitations,
if only that one time.

Note that the 1976 and 1988 articles on using pink noise to
do subjective evaluations were published pretty much as I
wrote them.
