Not sure why people on this forum need to keep hatin on Big J and others. In general, I think he helps bring more people to the hobby and makes high end gear listening more accessible to the masses. My ear and his don't agree. I find him liking more analytical amps for example. Does he spin for certain manufacturers - perhaps with some he does. But aren't alot of the media ? You tubers, magazine reviews, audiogon reviews, TV news networks....the list is endless. Everyone has the option of not watching/reading. He has owned alot of audio equipment and I would certainly listen to his take on them over someone who has had the same equipment for the past 15,20,30 years.
