Yes, I'm sure he heard the name. I did too.


S. Sullivan:
Interestingly, there's a letter in the new issue of Stereophile from
J. Gordon Holt himself, blasting Stereophile and the audio review industry
generally for abandoning evaluation of and the search for *accuracy*
in favor of touting what he calls *euphonic colorations*.


I haven't seen this issue as yet. But my guess, based on his
well-known views, is that Mr. Holt was blasting the "euphonic
coloration" added in by the audio engineer using his roomful of
mixers, processors and equalisers.


My recollection is that it was a blast at the reviewers who
reviewed *equipment*. But someone who actually has the issue
at hand can perhaps clarify.
