I had actually found mention of head-case from Rockhopper's website. I refrained from posting until drunk enough to be immune from the flames, though. Of course I didn't think to register last week so no intertubes cred for me :/

I find his lament of the hostility towards double-blind testing to the most interesting comment. To be honest I wasn't expecting it from the man that founded what is now Stereophile, but times change. I think that the nature of the changing music business is the unspoken subtext in the interview though - we can't really look at hifi completely separate from the music (re)production industry, and that half has clearly let things slide in terms of fidelity. Oh, and hi everybody (flame away, thin skin, etc)
