- There is nothing in your article that hasn't been explained in Stereophile.
- Now Spile has their faults, but I take exception to your recommendation
- of Audio Amateur. If you're into construction projects, sure, they're the
- only game in town and do good every once in a while. For anyone else, though,
- I can't imagine a worse recommendation except maybe Stereo Review.
-
- I must add: AA is every bit as tweaky as Spile. Otherwise they'd all buy Sony
- or whatever.
