In Reply to: Any examples of a critic criticizing another critic for publishing questionable theories or advice? posted by Richard BassNut Greene on February 8, 2007 at 07:14:57:
What happended to "Subjective Audiophile"? Didn't last long, and now fully relasped into the tired old "wire obsession" no less!And hey, isn't Pierre Sprey a manufacturer of audio wares (including cables)? Are manufacturers now "critics" as well?
Follow Ups:
Subjective Audiophiles don't have to trust every audiophile and believe every audio claim ever made.That would be for Gullible Audiophiles, like yourself.
Nothing in my post criticized Sprey's wires or any other wires --
I just pointed out his questionable generic advice about wires being just as important as speakers and amplifiers. I could have mentioned that the "Ultimate WireNut" Jon Risch has posted on-line that differences among wires are "subtle", which directly contradicts Pierre Sprey.I doubt if Sprey manufactures any wires himself, just like every other audio wire "manufacturer" who buys wires from real wire manufacturers, packages them, and multiplies the cost by 10 or 100 or 1000 to create his selling price!
It would appear that you have nothing to add about critics actually criticizing anything related to audio -- one would thinks criticism might be part of a critic's job description? Maybe not for audio.
It seems all equipment is above average, all audio critics are above average and all audio theories are worthy of respect ... in your Audio Fantasyland!

...just like every other audio wire "manufacturer" who buys wires from real wire manufacturers, packages them, and multiplies the cost by 10 or 100 or 1000 to create his selling price!Please, do tell me where in the Belden, Carol, etc. catalog I can find these?
If I could find Nordost Valhalla at Belden prices, I'd never have the need to espouse expensive wires again!
picking apart the Ad copy that appears in their publications (or on their WebZines)?... or generally to comment on statements manufactures make to positioning their products against the competition?Tsk tsk, what silly things your "wire obsession" leads you into!... I mean really!
