Is he nice because you he states that that we will all eventually "grow up" and enjoy playing vinyl, listening to classical music and enjoy "pleasing to the ear second order harmonics" with tubes.
Is he nice because his writing skills allow him to get his point across without profanity?

Many here who posted did not get the point of why I posted the original letter. We wonder why 95% of the world do not understand Audiophiles. (A term I am not sure I really know what it means) Audiophiles in general are exclusionary. Too many audiophiles sit around only listening to music that sounds good on their system. Many Audiophiles try to jam their opinions and likes and dislikes down the throats of others. The point was he was just being as exclusionary as the magazine. Tubes, vinyl and certain types of music were not relevant to him, so he cancelled his subscription.

I stated the rebuttal was nice not the young man. I thought his tone in the letter was more acceptable that's all.
