When companies begin to produce crap (most of the today arms) then it is the job of various marketing whores, like Michael Fremer and the similar, to invert a theory that would justify the poor sonic results or to explain to the deaf audio-cretins ou...

[quote user="Gregm"]I would agree. I'd feel that the objective of "audio journalism" (for wont of a better description) is entertainment -- not an "evaluation" that can be used for reference purposes.So, the components discussed/presented are simply ...

[quote user="Lbjefferies7"] Would it be possible for you to post some samples?

It sounds bit childish, with the level of seriousness that some American History Channels pop programs treat history, but it might be fun and it looks like it is … free.

The industry mechanism of making shekels on somebody stupidity works like clockwork.

Stitch, When I hear people defend audio reviewing in present form (as most of the industry establishment do) or offend it (as I do) I think they both miss the point. I was truly laughing reading the comments after the Jacob Heilbrunn’s post where all...

Well, there is not really blame in the situation as anyone has good and honorable intentions. Wilson does what they do and Aleksandra might be not your type of speakers but the larges Wilsons do have own charm and charisma. I would argue that 85% of ...

What one NEVER hears from these guys is why and how they evolve their sound over time, and this is because the particular product or products is/are the focus, rather than any organic, felt sense of sound that is merely facilitated - or not - by the ...

Paul,
I do not know anything about Vitus phonostages but it is what it is. Manufactures each few months manufacture new products and it is given to media publicists to sell it. It is what they do for leaving – to inform public that new product...

The last nigh we went to book store – the wify wanted to buy UK traveling guide and I glanced the September Stereophile magazine. It had two interesting artless – Art Dudley look like publicly was loosing his virginity about horns and Mike Framer had...

[quote user="steverino"]I made the mistake of clicking on the first link. It is a dangerous thing to try to parody Stereophile or TAS articles or writers. At least I think that was what the writer was attempting to do. If he was serious then he is wr...

Well, Paul, a majority of audio Morons is that in their infinite chase for a “better” turntables approach the subject of turntables’ assessment using fundamentally faulty techniques. Let pretend, juts for sake of illustration, that a pric...

There was absolutely nothing ad hominem in Framer critique. Dr. Bose, his company and his business proactive are public domain and there is absolutely nothing that might be recognized as not fair game. I have no problem with the time of Framer comme...

It was 15 years ago. Michael Framer was sitting in his home, taping scotch over a small white box, crying and cursing God. “Oh, Gods who run Roma?!” – wept Framer – without knowing the true meaning of his question.
“Gods what did I do to upset you?...

I stopped yesterday at Borders and looked through current Stereophille magazine. It looks like 47Lab came up with their turntables. In the magazine there was an article about the TT by Mike Framer. Framer is the dirty Pampers of audio and I routinely...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I do not know what Vitus phonostages are but a few years ago I made a rule – any product that that Mr. Framer took under his wing is garbage that need to be discarded. It they were a serious company and they had serious pro...

I am not well familiar with what Berkeley. Their voyage to the beginnings unit that the company started was irrelevant to me and then thinner USB version did not attract my attention. It is not that I feel that they were bad units. I never had th...

Mr. Framer, the reviewer extraordinaire of Stereofiles magazines went to Australia for his vacations. “My God, those poor Australians live in a complete ignorance - Mr. Framer said, - and I’m confident that they desperately need a help form such an e...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Fuck the Fremer and anathema to each single audio product he touches. Sometime those whore do play the primitive publicity games in order to send a message of “own integrity”. That all BS and I do not even want to talk abo...

I just ran across this quote from Mr. Fremer, circa 1999, and I doubt much has changed on this front:"Sitting in my listening room auditioning this $3995 Premier 15 phono section from Conrad-Johnson—a process that I made sure went on for months!...
