I know it's total click bait because the site really doesn't have
anything new to offer/say, but check out this post:

Gee... Anyone wonder that maybe there are no comments sometimes because
the people who might want to comment have been banned!?

I want to know what kind of beer that is he's walking through the woods
with? From the little I see in the picture it appears to be a nice amber
color and holds a head. Of course beer tasting is totally subjective...

The world of audio is full of people who ensure that they are always
right by silencing people who disagree with them.

Juergen Reis is no hero of mine, apparently just another promoter of his
viewpoint with sighted evaluations.

I concur. He is well aware of how people discuss in the days of the
internet and so takes the scientific route plus a fine dose of clever
and honest sounding experiences about there has to be more.
His business is to sell High End and High Bitrate after all.

If I were in the business of high-fidelity, I'm sure I'd be wrestling
with the nasty line between -psychological perception- which sadly is
much of what high-end audio is these days - the promotion of said
perception in service of the need for revenue, sales, the bottom line
and what one must do to achieve it.

And engineering truths.

If we allow ourselves to be bold enough to "call a spade a spade", I
believe subjectivity is the "mechanism" that allows the hope of
guilt-free relief from this razor-thin margin in some instances.

Having said this, and in full disclosure, I must say that I have had
numerous E-mails with Juergen and appreciate his input on many topics on
the blog as well as just day to day chatter (which is a great part of
getting to know various folks in this hobby through the blog). No doubt
a very smart engineer and business man; with opinions and personality
which we are of course all entitled to :).

Indeed he knows all the stuff happening out there and comes over really
smart. He must be well educated.
