That I recall...I had a pair of Bob's power cords, one of them called the "Goldstein" amusingly enough, when I started out at TAS in '91. 18 months later, I joined Stereophile.
It's a while ago, but I recall a back'n'forth with Bob about his power cords. As I remember it, I was trying to convince him that there was no reason to "pull" the cords because I'd left one magazine for another, and that I'd be very happy to write about them in Stereophile. Good guy, good products, etc., but knowing what I know now, I wouldn't have pushed the matter then.
"Okay, they're yours," he said, and I remember that very specfically I thought, "that's odd, I guess he means it's okay to keep them and write about them in SP." Perhaps I was a bit naive at the time, not having reviewed for too long, about the longer-term implications of what I had suggested.
Until Bob's untimely death in '05, as far as I could make out, we were buds, enjoyed lots of laughs together. If he was harboring bad feelings, he never let on. This included post-Stereophile times. And Mr. Curl never said anything to me, before or after, and I've seen him many times.
It's many years on from this incident, I've learned a lot about how the industry works from both sides now through my years at Stereophile, Monster, and now with my own marketing/brand building operation Scull Communications, where ironically, I spend a lot of time making sure stuff like this doesn't happen to my clients!
If the cords' cost is to be reimbursed, it's on me. I can't locate them now.
Regards,
Jonathan
