A fair perspective?

I was a charter subscriber to TAS and certainly was influenced by HP and his staff.

But I had previously subscribed to J Gordon Holt's "Stereophile" so I am a bit disappointed to read tributes to HP which seem to credit him with creating "hi end audio" and the written criticism thereof to the exclusion of what came before.

At one point HP stated he was influenced by Gordon and held his magazine in high regard. But he was frustrated by the sometimes worse than irregular publishing schedule and felt he could do a more timely job. That part was true.

For myself I hold both of those gentlemen in high regard for their contributions to what has evolved as such a meaningful and enjoyable hobby.
