Perhaps a conflict of interest is sculling around in there some where?
For the record, our reference high-end system uses PC driven audio as it's source, so that is our vested point of interest here!
Marco, why not, draft a letter and invite Malcom to quantify his comments, as they were posted in the Public domain.
For example I personally favor that MP's/ local councilors/ charity workers are made to declare any vested interests such as Free-Masony/relatives working for industry/magazine connections/which company their are directors of etc.
I would like to see ALL Jurno's have their 'statement of interest' printed in the mags their work is published in.
I know that golden pigs will not fly LOL, however it would be nice to finally understand which position they are actually coming from.
Controversial maybe, yet the card would be open so to speak that way at least the reader of the piece would be 'more informed' as to possible 'back room' issue that *may* have a bearing on the piece being reviewed.
Over the last 4 years I have met nearly 20 high profile Jurno's, some at great length others for no more than 20 minutes.
The vast majority have been polite, articulate, interested, and courteous.
Some have a very singular whit, other incredibly dry.
A couple were down right rude and obnoxious, a couple of floppy head ex public school boys (James May types), a few refugees from Woodstock too. A great mix.
Would you trust them do give you a fair unbiased review on broad spread of equipment, what ever that equipment was, within a real home style enviroment?
Let's have your views on this please...........
