New Stereophile Editor goes to "Re-education Camp" - from DeVore to an old Revel model. Why? And Why 10 year old Revel vs. something else "Accurate"?

Musical preferences: Pretty much anything. Classical from renaissance to 21st century. Listening a lot to the old masters, but also a lot to 20th century and modern avant-garde classical music, including some screechy one which you can chase the mice out of your house with (at least that's how some would feel about it). Second most listened to genre is jazz, including wild avant-garde jazz. Rock -- classic rock, prog rock, punk rock, jazz rock etc. Also pop and singer-songwriter. Electronica. Important to me: No priorities of one genre over another when it comes to sound capabilities of the system. The reproduction of all types of music must satisfy equally.

Sorry, Caesar, if you think Magico is sterile you are clueless. Absolutely clueless.

Or are you just trying to provoke?

Any doubt? Fortunately most of us we have resisted until now ...
