Michael Fremer leaves Analog Planet

Thank god he’s going to TAS because I don’t read TAS anymore due to their ridiculously always favorable reviews, every product reviewed is the best product ever made. In the past,  I refused to read any of Fremer reviews outside of analog products due to his huge bias against anything digital.

BTW, after my stereophile subscription runs out, I’ll be done with that magazine too for the same reasons. 

I miss Art Bell...sorry, wrong planet.....

I will follow fremer on TAS.  I wish him well. 

Magazines need to make money, they cant keep giving honest reviews otherwise the industry will not support them. No longer follow any magazine reviews not falling for the hype and crap anymore.

I’m not sure who I can trust anymore.....

I like Fremer. I like his reviews and his quirkiness. And I’ve found his videos very informative. But I can’t stand his protege, that self-entitled little brat called Malachi. He may be a wunderkind when it comes to knowledge of vinyl history and production, but he’s been set free on AP to write what he wants, insult the artists he reviews and insult the readers. And at his age he doesn’t have the skills or life experience like Mikey. He should not be telling us what it was like being a protester of the Vietnam war, he thinks he’s a mini Mike.

Anyway, if you read the comments included in the provided link, he drops a bombshell, writing that he’s leaving AP and following Fremer on his next endeavor. And it’s obviously a shock to the publisher. His first job and he’s burned a bridge. I hope MF stops mentoring this kid and continues doing what he does best.
