If you haven't seen the Stereophile reviewers' video series, it is worth checking out. I have to say I enjoy Fremer but wish he'd stop saying everything over $20k is good value.
Best Audio Writing of 2017?
Hi Everyone,
I've been completely away from the usual list of magazines last year, and barely glanced at the publisher's websites. I thought I would come here and start a thread on the best articles you read last year. Not best products, just best most informative or useful or well written articles.
Please post links with your praises. Please leave the "worst" articles for another thread, or this will devolve into troll fights.
Best,
E

We all have biases and preferences. I try to work out over time how a reviewers preferences and opinions sit with mine, and then I make allowances for those differences. The reveiwers I watch most closely are Michael Fremer (Stereophile), Alan Sircom (HiFi Plus in the UK) and Kevin Fiske (HiFi Critic in the UK). I hugely enjoy the entertainment factor of Art Dudley's writing. |
If this guy isn't a pro audio reviewer, he could be one if he wanted. http://theheadphonelist.com/pass-labs-xa25-vs-first-watt-f7-the-two-newest-nelson-pass-amplifiers-go... I have the Pass XA25 and he has nailed the sound and what a read! |
I don't know where to put this, but on checking the Ayre website yesterday, I found the notice that Charles Hansen has passed on Dec 28. After many years, I have ended up with several Ayre components, and admire the consistent engineering ideas that were expoused by his company. Regrets on his passing to his company and family. |

Of the major newsstand publications, I always enjoy Herb Reichert, Art Dudely and Michael Fremer. I'm more in Fremer's camp when it comes to the type of equipment he prefers. I also enjoy Jonathan Valin. I find his description of the sound he hears from a component to be quite literate and expressive. Others online are also excellent. See Tim Aucremann. |
