In Reply to: Stereophile and MQA... posted by mkuller on August 16, 2017 at 12:25:29:
The point was that a lot of their shilling was gratuitous . . . out of context. Issak was extremely adept at ferreting out the extreme pro MQA disposition out of reviews where there was little or no context.
IMO Stereophile would not have had a fit each time he did that if there was nothing to it.
