The man who wrote this article (and performed the tests) was Larry Greenhil.
It was for Stereo Review.  He recieved a lot of nasty remarks from the
hi-end press about this article.  Stereophile then hired him and defended
him in an issue last year.  It seems that the editors at Stereo Review
did a great butchering job on the article and actually rewrote Mr.
Greenhil's conclusions!!  If anyone wants, I'll summarize the editorial.
