greg_r 81 Posted March 27, 2017 Oh God. Ken Kessler. Don't get me started ...surely not the hi-fi 'jounalist' I hope....? Yup 'Hi-Fi journalist' is being rather generous... "Bad Physics Journalist" is closer ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"Bad Physics Journalist" is closer ;) One of the worst guys whores in the industry (and they're quite abundant!) I ever had the displeasure of meeting. Really a thoroughbred cunt, he is...

greg_r 81 Posted March 27, 2017 http://www.kenkessler.com/about/ I once told him - in great detail - why I thought he must be congenitally deaf. It didn't go down quite as well as you might expect... ;) This was in front of a large group of hi-fi journalists and well-known industry figures at a hi-fi show in London where he had appointed himself Queen.

I had a...ehm...'similar' experience with him over a journo's press dinner, where he fiercely tried to justify how (uendingly) long term review samples would directly influency the...ehrm...'quality' of a review in various publications. It did prove he was familiar with the phrase let's talk about that later, say...'C U Next Tuesday'...;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kleen™ 45 Posted March 27, 2017 ...oh, and just remembered this as well: He once did an in-depth review of a product he had never even seen, let alone heard. How do I know? Because none of the products ever left the factory, because only prototypes were ever made. Sleazy fothamucker! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 81 Posted March 28, 2017 Yup. There were a lot of those sort of happenings. Kessler wasn't the only reviewer doing it, either - which is part of the reason why I left the business. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StuH 0 Posted March 28, 2017 There were always rumours that certain journalist got nicely paid to review products they've never heard... Hi-Fi World was the only publication I bothered reading. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kleen™ 45 Posted March 28, 2017 There were always rumours that certain journalist got nicely paid to review products they've never heard... Hi-Fi World was the only publication I bothered reading. For me the 'bibles' were: a) The Absolute Sound - especially when it was still headed by (now late) Harry Pearson. b) Stereophile, when edited by J. Gordon Holt, later John Atkinson Both publications originally came in a (bloody annoying to 'break') pocket-sized format, but I read them both religiously and couldn't wait for the next issues to be mailed to me. So, in the pastime I read....well...... 'all the other publications' as well...;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
