"sophisticated viscosity-oriented design choices"??? WTF are these guys smoking there? It reminds me of the technobabble used by IBM and DEC to justify the outrageous eye gouging prices they used to quote for a fan (positive air displacement device), connectors or service contracts.
I feel for the guy personally, because often during late night listening sessions I find myself wishing my amplifier was a tad sluttier.
"bohemian libidinousness", "slutty voluptuousness" and "riotous debauchery" Sounds exactly what I could do with right now. This month's winner.
He never, however, achieved orgasm with this amp. Unfortunately I have to cross it from my shopping list.
As my DEC representative said "they're very proud of their product" after telling me the manual set cost $900...
I remember those manuals.. Beautifully printed , in nice high quality binders.. But I never paid the bills and did not know how much they was.
I should have guessed that it was Herb Reichert. He seems to be knowledgable enough and from the videos that I 've seen he looks like a really nice guy, but he takes this whole subjectivity thing to the extreme IMO. Sometimes I get the impression that he would be better off writing for the New Yorker.
Not trying to thread crap but there was this review of extreme interconnects on Amazon where the owners cats chewed the cables and started communicating with him, revealing that one wanted to kill him...
That's because he didn't buy these excellent interconnects, which he would have, had he read the reviews: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Denon-AKDL1-Dedicated-Discontinued-Manufacturer-Blue/dp/B000I1X6PM
I agree with your assessment of Reichert but not your conclusion. The New Yorker is famous for the high quality of its fact-checking.
