When I meet Jonathan Valin I laugh. Jonathan is soft-spoken, kind-mannered person who does not have that revolting attitude of a typical audio reviewer. Most of audio reviewers that I met behaved like idiots, claiming: “the entire wo...

Yes, this is the problem. I do not mean the habit of playing bad record (that is problem itself) but I mean that people who in this industry...

It was brought to my attention by a fellow member at our audio society meeting today that there have been some postings here regarding my letter to the editor in this month's Absolute Sound. I wont restate the total contents of my letter as they ...

This post has basically wiped out the entire reputation you have tried to build up in the past. Rebutting a review does not make yours right, and from my personal experiences, you are indeed far from right. I can see why some people will not agree wi...

What do you know: I invested into my entertainment and subscribed “The Absolute Sound”. Sometimes it is really amusing to read this magazine. Those audio publications quite long time moved in my home from the “toilet reading” into the section where m...

People who read my site are accustomed that in my section “Audio News” are published the semi-sarcastic articles about different aspects of audio industry. This article however is far from satire and now I would like just to publish one none-invented...

It might be not directly related to the subject of this thread but I do feel that it has quite a good relatively. Are you laughing that your Lamm made his new amplifier with a price tag of $126K? Well, think again. Do you remember as the ...

I have quite a confidence that if you meet and talk with Joseph Goebbels or Lavrenti Beria or with Idi Amin then they all will come along like “nice guys”. When I met and spoke with Valin he seemed “normal” as well. Hey even I appear as “a nice guy” ...

I do not subscribe audio publication but sometimes when my level of venomous hate goes down to dangerously low level I buy one at newsstand. The last night I saw October TAS magazine in Borders with a big picture of Magico speaker on the cover I ...

Robert, sorry but you yourself in the “doormatish” position. You see, many audio people elevate the individuals who write for audio publication to some kind of shrine level and attribute to them some kind of special qualities, expecting them to b...

What did you know; I was in Barnes & Noble and bought a first for quite long time September TAS magazine. I do not subscribe audio publications but seldom buy them. Since I did not do it for as long time I though it will be entertaining. It...

Frank Berryman posted an article on his sit: http://www.ultrahighendreview.com/the-sound-of-one-hand-clapping/… although Mr. Berryman is trying to address some typical idiocies that Jonathan Valin expressed but I think Frank is also pedagogically mis...

I admit to being surprised since I used to talk with Jon Valin some and he seemd like a nice enough guy. Of course this was many years ago, before TAS. I guess Absolute power corrupts Absolutely....

After posting last night the post above I got a few emails from the people asking me why I am so angry and why I feel that industry people are valuable only in dead form. Those unfortunate audio people with their questions are so dull. I have exp...

Samuel, I do not think that it was me, and if it was signed by me then it was one of the numerous attempts of the idiots to impersonate me. It happened many times before. I did not talk with Jonathan Valin in direct emails and I do not ever hide...

Stitch, If you think that you are making some kind of joke then you are mistaken. In most case selling high-end audio to morons is a purely psychopathic game that takes advantage of compulsiveness of audio fools and their desire to be comforted. You...

Well, the first mistake from Mr. Berryman is the opening with something from this ultra stupid, corrupt Valin. Normally, a slap into the face of the last surfing cell in the human brain...Next mistake from him is, he write about Audiophiles like norm...

It would be much easier to name some useful reviews instead to rant about written BS which became standard today. In future we will get a new "Rating" System.Not for components, no, it is for Reviewers.For example:Complete-Master-BS-Class: Jonathan V...

Judas,
I patiently wait until you realize that this site is not compatible with audio idiocy. I told you before that you are exactly the person who is a demonstrable illustration of what Audio...

I think 15 years back I was speaking with a famous industry person who told that the responsibility of an individual who run an audio publication is to match the stupidity of audio product to the stupidity of reviewer. he said that if manufacture ma...

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...
