Good job of obfuscating the point that Atkinson who is

Do you harbor a grudge, blaming Stereophile for somehow

Here 'tis:

A quote from JGH on his experience at High Fidelity, which led him to
start Stereophile:

"I watched, first with incredulity and then with growing disgust, how
the purchase of a year's advertising contract could virtually insure a
manufacturer against publication of an unfavorable report."

Perhaps this is why JGH left Stereophile: what he had founded had
become that which disgusted him. :-(

I find the following (from your reference) to be quite
ironic:

"To my continuing regret, J. Gordon Holt left Stereophile in
1999 for what he perceived to be greener pastures. But it is
my pleasure to announce that Art Dudley, until recently
editor of the now-defunct Listener magazine, will be joining
our extended family as a reviewer and columnist with the
January 2003 issue."

Comparing JGH to someone who I find to be a certifiable
crazy like Dudley is quite a thing to behold.

He gradually realized that measurements-only reviews didn't tell him

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

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

Let's not forget that JGH praised ABX as "the first significant
contribution to the audio field in years" some 20+ years *after* he
founded Stereophile. Clearly, JGH believed in listening both sighted
and blind. That's good for consumers, not so good for advertisers.

Unfortunately, JA's road has changed Stereophile into $tereopile. IOW,
the magazine is now just the kind of advertiser driven magazine that
led Holt to found the original Stereophile as an alternative in the
first place.

More specifically, JGH realized that in the late 1950s. It
seems that the radical subjectivists would like us to
believe that nothing changed related to measurements in the
past 50 years.

However, my quote shows that the most important motivator
for JGH in those days was not the then-retarded state of
measurements, but the way that advertisers changed editorial
policy in their favor.

JGH saw that DBTs could shed a lot of light on audio
controversies. JA seems to have realized that resolving
those controversies would have serious negative impact on
enough SP advertisers to hurt the magazine financially.

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


It seems like JA had too much formal education in hard
science to beg off on the grounds of ignorance. However, the
means that he used to resolve the apparent contradiction
between DBTs and his own listening perceptions looks pretty
much like an abandoment of science.

Unfortunately, JA's road has changed Stereophile into

$tereopile. IOW,
the magazine is now just the kind of advertiser driven

Agreed. It appears that eventually the JA-induced stink got
too much for JGH, so he ended up abandoning his offspring
because it had become too unruly and painful.

Yeah, and I was a charter subscriber. I must have signed up
in 1962 or 1963. I seem to recall still getting new issues
related to that "1 year" subscription when I was in
Germany - 1969 or so.

Holt's concept of audio's high end is the one that I apply
to this day - higher quality products that probably cost
quite a bit more, but provide exceptional real-world audible
performance.

So much for the current Sterephile's spew of promotions for
snake oil and other overpriced products that seem to have no
audible advantages.

Are you posting this in rebuttal? I fail to see where it succeeds as
such. Clearly, JGH objected to the influence of advertisers on the
content of reviews.

Project for today: tally up the number of negative reviews in the
Atkinson era. Then go see how many non-advertisers products make the
RCL.

Have fun!

'Spew' implies most products in Stereophile meet that description. Since
I don't get to hear overkill products, it's fun to read about them.
Personally, the only ultra high end stuff I've heard (Quads aside) is
the Linn CD12 and Linn switching amps, unless you count the Bad Brains
cd that has a couple of tracks mastered from Fremer's vinyl rig.

'Over-priced' is a valid opinion, but not a universal one.

Gordon resigned as a Stereophile employee in 1999 for
a number of reasons, some to do with his compensation
package, others to do with his strong feeling that
the magazine should abandon coverage of 2-channel
audio components and recordings in favor of multi-
channel playback. Gordon was offered a position
at The Absolute Sound to write about that subject,
but that didn't pan out the way he expected. He left
that magazine at the end of 2003.

Gordon is basically retired these days. He has also
been having some health problems but currently
appears to be okay. We stay in touch. He still feels
that I made a strategic error in not changing
Stereophile along the lines he wanted in 1999.

Some of us disagree. I'm sure you're used to that.

Kreuger pontificates about
some **** the did decades ago as if it was sometihng
worthy of induction into some hall of fame.


Good start on kicking the Kroopologism infection. A few other RAOers before
you have shaken it off fully. Maybe you can conquer it too.

Then again, so does John. Different sides of the same coin,
I guess.


Your viewpoint is somewhat left of weird.

The difference is that I never said I *had* done

What qualifies you to judge, or was that just your
unsupported opinion?

Certain opinions don't need specific supporting evidence because the foundation
is blatantly obvious. Your ****fulness is one such thing. It's so obvious that
even somebody with a profound case of Kroopologism recognizes it.

Of course, your utter lack of self-awareness prevents you from recognizing what
is blazingly apparent to virtually everybody else. However, I think that even
you, Arnii "****-for-Brains" Krooborg, aka Arnii the Kroomonkey, Flinger of
Feces, realize deep down that you're a dirty piece of work. Look at your
favorite way of deflecting criticism: You always try to smear your accuser with
the same aspersion. IOW, your only excuse is that you're not the only one who
behaves badly. And you offer the same weak, whiney, self-pitying crapola to
everybody who criticizes you. This constitutes a pattern of behavior.

At this juncture, you'll dredge up something about me to complain about. Yes, I
call you names, and compare you to turds, and malign your family, and mock your
pomposity. I do all those things, and it doesn't bother me (much). But I don't
**** on anybody and everybody, including those who take my side against the
likes of you. Too bad you can't say the same. You are indecency personified.

Agreed. It appears that eventually the JA-induced stink got
too much for JGH, so he ended up abandoning his offspring
because it had become too unruly and painful.


So JGH went to The Absolute Sound instead.

The only thing that stinks is your logic. But I suspect it is a reflection
of your educational level and thus cannot really be held against you.

Cheers,

Margaret

I attribute the illogic you observe on the part of Mr. **** to his mental
disease. Equally not his fault, except insofar as he's too selfish to get
treatment.

Interesting logic. Ever thought what qualifies you to breathe, Arny?

Cheers,

Margaret

PS. I notice one of your "moods" building up again. I hope everyone will be
safe.

I have met him and he is a good guy. I like him. What your collective bent
about this guy is I do not understand. Arnie is a good guy and does not
deserve the bashing any group has given him.

take a look over on news:alt.audio.pro.live-sound where Arny is regarded as
nothing more than a blowhard and where he's completely humiliated himself
over the last couple of days.

Suffice to say his name is mud over there and with good reason. His infamous
"FOH" post has to be seen to be believed.

If Phildo's ego wasn't such a bleeding mess, he'd have no
need to do this.

Now, Phildo has brought the whole RAO contingent of mental
midgets into AAPLS to work it over.

Phildo, I regret hurting you so badly in our little debate.
