Speaking of crap, Tell that you did not enjoy Steroephile and AS 25 years ago when they would listen to a piece of junk and tell you it sounded like crap despite the Advertising $$$ they might lose. I first noticed a change when they nailed a paticular Bob Carver product and he pulled all his adveritising and started a campaign for others to do the same. He may have even sued them but I am not sure. But they compromised and the road to Hades began. BTW I am not knocking Carver's products I have had a few of them in the past and thought they were pretty good for that era of equipment (Phase Linear for one). He also made a very sensitive tuner. Not as good as the older Macs but nice.
