Gordon Holt telling it the way it is. I have to tell you; I agree almost with 100% of what he's said. I look forward to the Stereophile print where a full article is too be written. I will purchase that issue.

"We've lost our direction....The High End in 1992 is a multi-million-dollar business. But it's an empty triumph, because we haven't accomplished what we set out to do. The playback still doesn't sound 'just like the real thing.'

My living room can never sound like Carnegie Hall or the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam.
Any notion that it can is naive at best and arrogant at worst.

Nor have we solved the common cold, cancer, aids, segregation, poverty, etc.

Some progress has been made.

If all I wanted was accurate music I would only listen to live music. I still enjoy our hobby after 30 years.
