One question posed by John Atkinson at the July 1991 <I>Stereophile</I> <A HREF="http://www.stereophile.com/features/109">Writers Conference</A> had to do with the ease of reviewing: Is it harder to write a bad review of an expensive product than a good review? I find it hardest to write a good review of an inexpensive product. If I admire a less expensive loudspeaker, for example, it may become a recommended component, and can displace a more expensive speaker (that received mixed comments) from our twice-yearly rankings. This can be a big responsibility; even a conditional rave of a low-cost product means that JA may assign another <I>Stereophile</I> reviewer to do an immediate follow-up report. The Snell Type E/III loudspeaker may be a good case in point.

Wadia was showing its almost ready-to-ship CD/SACD player, the $15,000 781. (A 781<I>i</I> with digital inputs and outputs is also in the works.) The 781 uses two signal processors feeding a programmable gate array and the company's proprietary DigiMaster 2.5 upsampling software. This, Wadia claims, results in a data rate of 1.4112 million samples per second. The 781 also sports Clocklink jitter reduction for both CD and SACD.

I was riding the elevator yesterday, when I spotted Attention Screen's Mark Flynn and Chris Jones. I jumped out of the lift and asked, "What's up?"
