In defense of Jerry, I would like to point out that he is the Egon Ronay of the HIFI world. He has the time and enjoys listening and commenting on various pieces of equipment from first hand experience, which saves the rest of us a lot of money. And he funds it all out of his own pocket. These are not freebies as the ones that the likes of me have to part with when sending samples to magazines for review.

Of course that can easily develop a fair bit of unexpressed jealousy in certain circles, and a total lack of understanding in others.
