Even-handed hi-fi journalism

摘要

As a long-standing reader of Hi-Fi News, I read your new series 'From The Vault' with great interest. How hi-fi journalism has changed in 30 years and not always for the better I'm afraid. Frank Jones's comparisons with other turntable manufacturers in the course of his article, comparing the Fons CQ30 and Linn Sondek LP12, showed an impartiality I feel is sometimes missing these days. Towards the end of his article, a mention is made that despite the excellent engineering of the two turntables on test, neither was cheap enough to be considered good value. In our present economic climate, a remark like that seems even more relevant.
