John/Stereophile gave Audioquest a platform to address a controversy; one he likely would not have given a minor league cable manufacturer accused of the same offense.
The fact that, in retrospect, the fallout from Low's weak excuse-piece might have done more damage than the original disclosure of possible fraud in the marketing of cables (fancy THAT!) has little to do with whether he should have been given the platform in the first place.
I have my own opinions on that, but it's NOT MY MAGAZINE and I have never subscribed so WTF do I care?
That said, I think I do understand where Stereophile sits in all of this.
Think about it.
IF there is rampart FRAUD in the marketing of cables by a (the?) MAJOR player in the business, what does THAT say about the industry in general? Is there REALLY any differences in the SQ with ANY of this stuff we spend money on?
Maybe there's a reason that blinded A:B testing can't even be MENTIONED on some of the 'boards' here!
Scary!
First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass
