I agree. But once the subject has been made the subject of public debate,
I think it necessary to put the record straight, even if that is seen as
inappropriate.

Again I agree. As I said this subject has occasionally been raised and I
have always addressed it. But the appearance is not the same as the
reality. When we decided to get married in 1987, Laura resigned from Audio
magazine and applied to run Stereophile's circulation department. But both
Ken Nelson and Stereophile's publisher Larry Archibald didn't want her to
do that. So we discussed what the ground rules would be and 27 years
later, we still adhere to those ground rules. As I said, our relationship
has never been a secret and you are welcome to ask anyone in the audio
industry if they know of any impropriety that has resulted from our
relationship.
