>...I believe, Pearson came out of the publishing business.>IIRC, HP was the environmental reporter for Newsday on Long Island before he left to found TAS.
As I've mentioned before, it was Dick Hardesty, ironically, through his high end boutique in Huntington Beach,CA who first showed me high end audio and introduced me to TAS in about 1976.
I subscribed to TAS with issue #7 (and ordered back issues) and read Stereophile from time to time. They were very different publications.
Stereophile was nearly a one man operation. Holt wrote interesting stuff but in comparison his magazine seemed very amateur.
TAS on the other hand wrote about the High End equipment and their designers - Nudell, Johnson, Winey, Dahlquist, Marantz, Levinson and the rest - and really made it all come alive. HP and his writers had strong personalities, just like the designers, and it made for compelling reading and many times drama.
So it was TAS that first really exposed me - and many other audiophiles to High End audio in the mid to late 1970s, when it was beginnnig to become a force.
Just because your particular individual experience may have been different doesn't change what HP and TAS accomplished.
