Glad you didn't take that amiss, and thanks for your expression of sorrow re: my experience there.
I think that the re-start brought in a lot of disequilibrium and I think that people were trying to impress the new owners, or, see what they could get away with, and that included HP, or at least that's what it looked like to me.
How on God's green earth could you let someone try to recycle an out of date Fi review as a second opinion on a new TAS review? But he almost got away with it--the review was in bluelines, it was typset! Brian faxed it to me. The people at Wilson Benesch were speechless.
But for the singularity that the review pair was being waited for by a NYC-area dealer, the ruse might never have come to light.
Perhaps I was partially at fault for going in with stars in my eyes; I thought that TAS was the Mercedes-Benz of audio journalism, but I saw stuff that would have embarrassed Yugo.
Cordially,
JM
