www.high-endaudio.com & Arthur Salvatore


I just stumbled on this web site while googling and surfing. He has some interesting things to say, and I examined his "Recommended Components" list with interest.

Question: Accepting the premise that one man's opinion is exactly that, has anyone here confirmed or disagreed with 1) his equipment observations, 2) his views on the state of audio journalism?

In read his site many times and I like his kind of writing.
It is so different to the useless blah, blah in Stereophile or most other magazines.
His combination : dealer + knowledge + honesty is ultra rare in my opinion.
I own or listend to quite a few units he recommends ( cartridges, amps ...) or write about, so I know these really very well and he is right.
Same is for his reports about the press, this one I like very much , too.
What I respect much, he never says that something is the best ever, he only writes about units he or his friends personally know.
And he is not afraid to write about very unpopular facts ( overpriced crap, press ...).
Overall I have the same opinion TWL has, you should see it as a good information source but you can only really understand him, when you made your own thoughts before.
