Samuel T Cogley Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Hey guys, love you and all that, but if Stuart last updated that blog in September, 2018: this whole thread is clickbait. daverich4 1 Link to comment

We're told by one such participant, whose own technical competency is entirely unknown, that Stuart has "no credibility at all" and that his (Stuart's) "experience" is meaningless. The sheer arrogance of this stance is actually comical and thus my sarcastic response. If there is a line between reverence and sycophancy, you're way, way over it. That you don't seem to care how this affects your credibility shows just how much your particular flavor of audiophilia relies on this nauseating idol worship. I would never purchase a piece of gear that you reviewed favorably. No doubt you believe the person who designed/created it is also some kind of messianic figure.

The only time I've had MQA playback in my own system is when I've had gear to review with that capacity. I've never met Bob Stuart or corresponded with him and I've never owned a Meridian component. But, like most enthusiasts, I've followed the trajectory of Stuart's career over the years and have found much to admire. As you know, my issue is civility. With that in mind, there is another possibility other than "reverence" or "sycophancy"—and that's respect. Andrew You can call it whatever you like. But it is demonstrably the polar opposite of consumer advocacy. esldude, Kyhl and crenca 2 1 Link to comment
