Another Audiophile obituary


http://www.legacy.com/guestbooks/mcall/peter-aczel-condolences/185898962?cid=full

I just saw this today. Peter wasn't popular with many audiophiles due to his position and attitude. I did subscribe to his magazine for awhile though. Joe

Excellent overview of Aczel, Al. In his second act he was just so full of contempt and hatred, it made me uncomfortable to read.

There was little point in his reviews after his "enlightenment", as all he said in them was, "Yes, this sounds just like all the other competently designed products of it's type I have already reviewed". What's the point of reviewing it then?

I did like David Rich's technical articles in the mag, however.

Peter was a bit of a self-righteous, smug a-h. Kind of like a recovering alcoholic who now lectures everyone on the evils of drinking. Alvin Gold, being British, really knew his hi-fi. I hope Ken Kessler writes a piece on him.
