Stereophile looses Jonathan Scull

I, for one, am said to hear that J-10 may be gone. I enjoyed his articles, especially the tweaks, and appreciate his listening evaluations. I think he has excellent ears. If Stereophile becomes Stereo Review, there will only be TAS. The burden is on JA to keep the audiophile reputation of the magazine afloat for us all.

I agree that his commentary was a bit thin and that the primary criterion for a positive review was price although, hell's bells, the latter could be said about (all genuflect) The HP, as well. His writing style was enjoyable, though, and he had both wit and the ability to laugh at himself, attributes sadly lacking in the we-take-ourselves-ever-so-seriously audiophile press.

Scull was listed as "Senior Editor" on the masthead; with so few pages of editorial content who needs editors?

I will miss Scull and his articles, even if I couldn't afford the gear he landed in his pad every month. Since I live in the cultural abyss, the only time I get to hear new gear is CES, other shows, and good mags through the ears of others. Unfortunately, Stereophile is heading the direction of StereoPILE, with the loss of another good set of ears. Dick Olsher, Corey Greenberg (yes, I liked Corey and his "don't take this too serious attitude"), Robert Harley, to name a few of the losses. J-10 needs to call DO and continue to Enjoy the Music.com Jallen

No loss,these mags stoped represeting the aveage listner many years ago.They are in bed with the MFGS and deserve the fate they get.
Bound For Sound,Positive Feedback Audiophie Voice,UHF.They still do a good job and are better reads.They also cover stuff the average Joe can actually afford.Not the stuff that The EX Enron Executive's can afford.
