That's OK!

As for the QUAD Issue: 100% of the ESL 63s I have personally encountered on offer used (locally) have been to some extent broken. 100%.
As I said, I recommended used EAD digital in the current newsstand issue. When used gear is competitive with what can be had new, and is not just a fetish, I will recommend it.
But I am not the guy who is going to blow the horn for old Voice of the Theater speakers or 4-pin tube amps with oil capacitors.
There ARE magazines that cover those things, and do it well. And not one of them has 10% of the readership of Stereophile.
I write for music lovers who want advice on equipment that can deliver more than a one-brand system from Best Buy. I hear from my readers directly by email every month. I know what they own and what they want to know.
I get a lot more emails asking about integrated amps at $3,000 to $7,000 than I have ever gotten asking about kits (never) or sub-$500 amps (never).
I am going to continue to write my column to make my readers and JA happy.
Perhaps a lot of people at AA should spend more time actively supporting the magazines that do cover kits and DIY than faulting Stereophile for not covering things that don't make sense to most of Stereophile's readers.
Cordially,
John
