Gordon believed in reproducing the sound of live music as closely as possible. He judged things subjectively because the measurements of the day were insufficient not because he didn't believe in measuring
And he was quite precise in his description of sound. He hated what people thought was good sound as the years wore on. It's one of the reasons he wrote less and less. He thought it was a waste of time because very few understood what he was writing any more.
And I can say this with reasonable authority. I knew Gordon well from the early 70s. I stuffed envelopes, etc. for him. I helped him with recordings. I wrote for him while he was the editor of Stereophile. And we stayed in contact up until he died, a very sad day for me.
