Given the depth of your ire, it would seem almost churlish
to point that Stereophile's coverage of the Tice Clock was
thought so negative by the manufacturer that they canceled
all their advertising in my magazine. But I guess that doesn't
make such a good story, does it.

John,

Perhaps you mistake my criticism for ire, and if you do so I do apologize.
The magazine has been endlessley debated in this forum and, in my opinion,
with good reason.

I do understand that Stereophile is first and foremost a business, and at
second a collection of individual opinions. Nothing more, nothing less. I
do, however, feel that your magazine could have a better job of educating
our community. That is the depth of my complaint with the publication.

Regarding the Tice Clock itself, if memory serves correctly Sam Tellig did
write that he system never sound better when it was plugged in, though he
was wisely reluctant to attribute the improvement to the clock itself.
However, the brouhaha that followed was hardly surprising. Human beings are
a subjective lot. Jumping to conclusions is what we do.

Regarding you personally, I have on more than one occasion commended you for
the restraint you have exercised here. I know first hand how trying this
forum can be (if I did use your magazine as cannon fodder, I do, again,
apologize).

Regards,
Schiz
