What "print" or internet magazine is Doug part of?
He only shows up on Internet forums and the SORAsound site. His opinion is no better than many others on these forums.
His system is inadequate to have a valid opinion on bass performance.
He gets free ZYX cartridges to review .
I have the Airy 3 X SB and agree wit Doug there. I also have the Airy 3 S SB and know it is not slow or worse than the X just slightly warmer!
I question his system as a very good reference.
I have used MC cartridges since the 70's and set them at SRA of 92 degrees since the article in Audio magazine from the early 80's. I knew Dr. Shrieve personally, and his arm setups from the 70's, that started the whole VGA/SRA thing that today's reviewers like Fremer and Salvatore are just now learning. Doug's arm/cartridge setup and loading info is nothing new!
Valin is to Audio Research like Doug is to ZYX!
Freebies for consistent glowing reviews, and, more freebies!
Disagreement is what keeps audio interesting.
I have no more to say.
