On Fremer. I'll admit that his one-note-samba is a bit
tiresome, but on the
other hand, he or someone like him is needed to keep
their fingers on the pulse of all things vinyl because
most reviewers and audio journalists don't
want to. I say read his stuff for the information
therein, and take his "vinyl is IT" philosophy with a
grain of salt.
But he doesn't know anything about vinyl, except for
the pricetags on the gear.
Really? Honestly this is kinda irresponsible posting.
Michael Fremer
produced an instructional DVD on turntable set up.
http://www.musicdirect.com/product/79961
Since this is not a public source, we have no idea about
the contents of the DVD.
"We?" Speak for yourself Arny. I've seen it. It is very
informative source for people who are not well versed in
turntable/arm/cartridge set up.
Here is a preview of the content of the DVD with some
quotes from various knowledgable people who have also
seen the DVD,

Needle Doctor =3D dealer
Link =3D advertisement.
Come on Scott, is it really true that you can't tell the difference betwe=
en
an advertisment and an independent evaluation?
Is it really your belief that dealers can not make independent
evaluations? Did you read the review? Maybe you missed this quote
"It's awesome" =96 Bob Weston (recording engineer, record producer, bass
player in Steve Albini's band Shellac)"
Is it your position that since Fremer "doesn't know
anything about
viny" that this DVD is loaded with nothing but
misinformation and
would lead to thosewho purchase this DVD and use it to
incorrectly set up their turntables?
Given all of the other faulty information that can be
traced to Fremer, the contents of the DVD need to be
checked out by a non-fanboy.
They have been. The DVD has been out for some time now.
I notice the absence of an actual link that supports the above claim.
How on earth could you notice that when the link provides a review
with the following quote?
"=85a product that should have been around long before August 2006. It
provides easy-to-follow, practical advice for obtaining the tools and
knowledge necessary to complete competent setup of most turntables=85a
resource that will allow many to recapture the hands-on nature of this
hobby and have their record-spinners making fine music in no time." =96
Bill Brooks, Soundstage, August 2006"
It's 2011 Arny. 2006 is five years ago.
If he doesn't know anything he could hardly make
such a DVD without it being pure misinformation.
Excluded middle argument. I don't think that anybody
seriously means that Fremer knows absolutely and totally
nothing. "doesn't know anything about vinyl" relates to
the fact that some or much of the information he
promotes about vinyl is completely and totally wrong.
You can contrive whatever alternative interpretation you
want. I took the post for what it actually literally says.
It's quite clear that you also take advertisements for independent
evaluations
It's quite clear you didn't read the content.
