RE: Peter Aczel has died

"The Audio Critic was the first high end publication I ever read."

Same here though I would use the term "underground" instead of "high end". Prior to TAC, it was Audio and even Stereo Review.

Say what you want about Aczel but I loved his writing style and format. The reviews were brief and to the point. I also liked his System A (cost no object) and System B (best value) concept. Of course audio was much simpler back then.
