The experience itself paints a pretty nasty picture of

Why don't you tell us about that "Road To Damascas"
moment
that led to the creation of Stereophile to begin with.

Somehow JGH got the idea to do a subjective review
magazine.

Could you be more vague Stephen? Why not just admit that you
didn't know what you were talking about?

He gradually realized that measurements-only reviews didn't tell him
enough about what components sounded like.

Sure, it was a long road, but so was JA's.

There is a well-known story behind the creation of
Stereophile. You might do well to find out what it is.

Wrote for an audio magazine, ran an audio company's newsletter, then his
own newletter, Stereophile.

Please, I'd like to know your version of how it all happened.

He cunningly anticipated the debate by publishing the
story in
1989.

...only about 9 years after it happened and during one
of
the first big consumer-level pushes for ABX.

Who cares how long it took?

Clearly, nobody who has suspended disbelief in
Sterephile's
weirdness...

Was it too soon or too late?

Could you be more vague Stephen?

Well, you're not giving me much to work with.

JGH and Stereophile were open to ABX and
more-or-less accepted its premises at face value.

Good job of obfuscating the point that Atkinson who is
Sterephile's editor, was not open to ABX and only
compares
it to a bogus standard.

If it doesn't work, what's it good for?

Good question. Stereophile doesn't work, so what is it good
for?

It's got pictures. And news and reviews. Oh, features! And lots of
measurements.

Do you harbor a grudge, blaming Stereophile for somehow
preventing
mass consumer acceptance of an ABX product?

Given the consumer acceptance of PCABX, why would I care?

Would that you were so easily satisfied with other things.

Apparently even my low standards are way too high for you,
Stephen.

You've got 'argumentative' down pat.
