And obviously, lord addleford, I disagree with you. That phrase, like all the others, was carefully considered.Herb's writing requires no defense, from me or anyone else. The notion that transparency exists in audio, in the real world, as an absolute, strikes me as dubious. There are degrees of transparency, and deviations from transparency can have different flavors. The phrase could have been--well, phrased--to be more logically impervious, but if it was, it would have been less concise and far less expressive.
Stereophile, which after all is at its core a subjectivist audio magazine, employs the best writers in audio. I have no interest in turning them into robots.
