*David Rich is another matter. In the old "Audio Critic" he would g

engineering, always suggesting a better IC or other part for each
stage. Why he didn't simply design one "de novo" and publish a PCB
layout for us proles is my question, and one he never deigned to
answer.


Everything Ferstler did in regards to DBTs and DIYs were done under
the careful supervision of Roy Allison. Under scrutiny, it was
revealed that Howard did the DBT incorrectly anyway. That's the reason
why Howard was relegated to subwoofer and surround sound processor
reviews in his later years...when you spend most of the review
regurgitating the owner's manual, it's relatively hard to screw it up.


I decided to take a look here on a whim


....and the rest is tired bull**** that no one will bother reading. You
know, Harold, just like your subwoofer reviews.
