His earliest ramblings were peak KK,
Back when he was a retailer and supplied Hi-fi Answers - original Mission 770's one of the worst speakers ever,
His Anachrophile vintage audio column in Hi-Fi For Pleasure and similar writings in Hi-Fi News.
Lately his music "reviews" read like promos for the audiophool re-issue industry.
RIP

KK has/had his place in audioland (as michaelw hints - perhaps he's one of the biggest audiophools of all ) imho he's too opinionated and biased overall
where he advised on a value based system.
I took a note for reference (albeit USA biased) and I'd sure like to listen to it: Ken Kessler System Pro-Ject Debut Pro TT / Sumiko Rainier cartridge (or Denon DL103) EAR 834P. Yoshino PhonoBox. (Phono with Volume control) Carver Carver Crimson 275 (4 x KT120 75 watts/8 ohms) Magnepan LRS speaker Transparent Audio Link interconnects and Wave speaker cables
