Discuss a review. Provide constructive feedback. Talk to the industry.

Thank you, but...

Thanks for your kind words.

I want to clarify that I left Stereophile because among other reasons, I felt that audio in general was getting Balkanized, and that people were no longer really talking to each other...

I can't think of a better way to put into words those nebulous feelings, at the moment.

AND ABOVE ALL, I want to emphasize that every thing I ever submitted to Stereophile, I submitted in hopes that it would interest, inform, or entertain John Atkinson; and that I continue to be proud to call him my friend. He is a real mensch, and we communicate by email a few times evey week.

It was time to make changes in my life; but when I resigned, I had no idea what those changes would be. Boatbuilder? Bartender? Gigolo?

As noted elsewhere, I had been for about three years sitting on a self-designed cable, but I really doubt I would have taken the plunge except for a few industry friends whose confidences I will respect by not naming them.

Ciao,

John
