RE: Dear Jim Austin,

"Have we all been baffled with bullshit?"

No. I credit respected people in the industry, such as Charles Hansen, with alerting would-be purchasers to the dubious claims of MQA and the malfeasance of the audio press regarding this matter. You might say he's been pulling double duty. One can make the case that reviewers have an ethical duty to apply a healthy skepticism to new technologies, especially those making grandiose claims. But in the case of MQA, prominent reviewers jettisoned their objectivity in favor of fawning fanboy praise.
