This kind of garbage is not, unfortunately, unusual in audio reviews. Every now and again I forget myself and buy some magazine or other - perhaps I have a desire to buy some new toy - but within 30 minutes I conclude that the best I can hope to receive for my money is the names of some products that I can do my own research on, and the names of some suppliers that I might want to buy from.
But the reviews? Full of unverifiable, subjective, prejudiced, tosh. Come to think of it, I don't think this is just audio reviewers. Think back to the last time you read an article from some reviewer/analyst/specialist journalist on a subject that you happen to know about. Did it make any sense? Of course not. Was it rubbish? Of course it was. But they get away with it because on any given subject, 95% of their readers don't know any better (which is why they are reading the articles in the first place - they want guidance!) <Rant mode off> Ceejay -- ceejay ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ceejay's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=148 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19367 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
