So I just listened to an interview with John Atkinson (the big boss at Stereophile) on the Ultimate AV blogs:

Podcast # 17

And I have to admit that I was impressed... They addressed so many contentious audiophile issues:

live vs. reproduced music,
2-channel vs. multichannel music,
vinyl vs. CDs,
tubes vs. solid-state electronics,
exotic audio cables,
high resolution music (music servers,SACD)
Why the iPod is the best thing to happen to music!

I hope they produce a transcript of the interview as I consider it a must read for audiophiles...
