1. Harry Pearson kept this whole serious aspect alive for years in my opinion, and Richard Hardesty of The Audio Perfectionist for honest easy to understand opinion with references to irrefutable facts- without the pathetic, plastic & mindless drivel of the current TAS & Stereophile. (Just got my copy of Stereophile & see yet another "follow up" on the "8"; I think they'de use a review of a cheap Dac to refer to their advertizing "darling". Since when did Stereophile think one could find it anything but distasteful & nauseating for them to be 'going steady' with a big advertiser. The pair of them are beginning to remind me of a pimp & his hooker-not a pretty picture. Someone should call the Sheriff. Fie.)
