Yeah, well don't worry too much about things said between Arny and
J.A. That's a long-standing feud. If you know Stereophile and its
audiophool attitudes you may well side with Arny on this one :-)

Trouble is, for me the recording is the music, the music is the
recording. I find it very hard to hear a bad performance as anything
other than a bad recording. Maybe some people can divorce the two.
Maybe such people shouldn't be involved in recording music. I don't
know.
