Arthur Salvatore WoW comments??


Anyone ever read about this audio critic? his site is at http://www.high-endaudio.com/ but for the real deal go there and scroll down to 'audio critique' and click on that link and you will not be able to stop reading. i recommend reading his 'philosophy' first and then his 'recommended components list' - although i know you guys will reverse that order; it was worth a try.
This guy has some very interesting things to say about audio and has really gotten hot and heavy with the top magazines and he's published his heated correspondences with them and you'll love it.
Please comment here after reading about this guy.

well, our worst fears have been verified; detlof's as mad as a hatter. we can only hope now that he is caught unharmed and given the proper medical attention he deserves. i'm so upset i can barely type.

maybe one of us SHOULD drop by his house and perhaps store his rig *temporarily* until he gets well again? i could go over. thunders... if possible...could you privately email me detlof's address??
Ok, I get the polite hint: you guys are expecting *me* to do the dirty, rig picking & storing, job. After all, Detlof lives just (1500 miles) round the corner from me... I'm happy to help.

Kelly, I'm looking into suitable charters. I understand your hourly rate runs into 3digits, so I asked for a F16 to fly you over -- will that be OK?
Here is a short report as promised:
1. No news from Detlof
2. There are indeed strange looking young women in the streets, who indeed have more bulges underneath their clothing than nature would allow. To me indeed it looks like handgrenades and yes, it could be uzis, not golfclubs.
3. Infrequently there are strange bursts of noise which seem to come from somewhere near the vicinity of the jail. It has chased all the birds and squirrels away, dogs howl and cats spit and act strange.
4. Two extra charter flights from Sicily are due this afternoon.
(Which reminds me, Greg, wouldn't take an F16, make it a stealth fighter, which is a two-seater anyway, because I'm sure Salvatore's men can decipher this page)
5. Careful about D.'s rig: It may well be boobytrapped by now by the S. mob.
6. Shall try and see poor D. now, who must be on a very cold turkey!
Will keep you posted.
Here's a thought: maybe we can "toeten zwei voegel mit ein stein". Why don't we sell Detlof's remaining equipment on Audiogon and post it to Dssman. We can stipulate "buyer must pick up, personal cheques only". I would pay a mark to see that exchange with AS's flittchens. Maybe the uber flittchens aren't women after all - might explain the bulges.

If Detlof is going cold turkey I hear butter helps smooth things out.
K, I'm checking out prices on Stealths right away. Had fresh butter delivered from Normandy today: can we smuggle some to Detlof? Should we join forces with Don S.'s boys & generate a few alliances? The Don could orchestrate a suitable reception for Dssman.

BTW, what does "Dssman" stand for?
