because it's not a bible of any sorts, it's only a stereo mag!

That said, it's important enough to have "irked you to no end".

Did it "irked" you enough to critique the critic ...

> > I should say he's getting better at *not* sounding like the "Man As Extension of Test Apparatus" reviewer ... in fact this would lend a uniqueness to his reviews, giving him a leg-up on the competition, on just about anyone actually < <

Your saying that JA has the potential, but that he needs to follow your advice?

> > Dudley's enthusiasm for the Rega Apollo CDP was nice to see, especially given the price of the player and the fact that I'm inclined to trust his impressions. However, to be totally honest, to be convinced that the player was something special I would require his view on a Jolida JD100; with a good power cord and some cheap isolation devices the price should be about spot on with the Apollo. If after an audition, even a brief and informal one, of the JD100 he came back and said the Apollo was as good, let alone better, then I'd get excited. < <

Do you think it's important for Art or any reviewer to convince all his/her readers? Is this your "requirement"? Does Art need to run out and do this very comparison for your "excitement" justification?

Listen, why don't you take the inititive, why don't go with your JD100 to Rob's back room and do the comparison with the rega yourself.

That way, not only can enlighten JA on his writing skills, you can also enlighten Art on his review process.
