I could not care less, but enough of the myth of HP. He was a miserable human being.
Guess you never spoke to a manufacturer who did not get there gear back. Or those that were threatened that if he did not get a premier or exclusive review he would "destroy" their reputation.
Yeh. Ok.

Thanks for finally saying exactly what I have heard from numerous manufacturers and others in this industry. I didnt know him personally but have never heard a good thing about him as a human being.
...never one he threatened.
Sounds to me like you care a lot more than you admit - you had to look up those comments you pasted.
You seem pretty angry about something - maybe somebody dumped in your cereal this morning.
In 15 years of working for him he never treated me poorly so I have the utmost respect for what the man accomplished.
Many of us would not be audiophiles if it weren't for him and TAS.
> > maybe somebody dumped in your cereal this morning.
LOL. He's like this every day!
FWIW, during my time at TAS (99-06), I also was never influenced by
any editor or a manufacturer to slant a review one way or another.

Why get involved? Unless the grumpy inmate violated some rule why pipe in? You shouldnt take sides nor should you poke fun at an inmate. Why even mention your time at TAS? As if there exists some sort of reviewers fraternity. The fact that reviewers spend so much time earning so little money makes me think they are pretty thick. There are easier ways than becoming a reviewer if you want to smoke for a discount.
> > nor should you poke fun at an inmate.
Says the guy who has had 20% of his posts deleted over his first six weeks at AA.
Also, I wasn't poking fun. I was making a valid assessment, which is easy to support based on specific observable behaviors.
BTW, you might be johns dad, but you're not mine.

...he has personal experience to discuss relevant to the thread.
Now you are being absurd. My father was purchasing tube amps, reel to reels, and Quad speakers in the 60s ten years before TAS ever exsisted and I can tell you he never read a single issue of TAS period. I became an audiophile through direct exposure.
To credit Pearson with spreading the gospel is a false halo.
Live in your fantasy world.
No anger here. I am on assignment where it is 75 degrees and sunny without a care in the world and I don't eat cereal. lol.
I live in your assignment ........ :)
