Manufactors and review magazins like stereophil always work together dont ever beleive that the reviewers are purly none biased , its the old if you scratch my back i scratch yours thing. Some independet internet sites review things with a open mind and somthims its not very pretty. Herer in demark the sb3 was review , the said it wassent better then a similar prices dvd player. Not that i beleive them but the point is dont beleive in what you read use , your ears . Have many bad reviews have sterophil ever done ? Or the stereotimes reviewers that strangly always end up with having the component the review in there system. On of the most expensiv learnings in this crazed hoppy was that never ever buy somthing based apone the review. Somtime back i sold on of my Lyngdorf amps to a person that explained to me that he ones read the stereotimes review of the the same amp, and decided back then that based apone he fell in love with the review he would someday try owening one. Its was clear that he was buying the dream and review not the amp becaue he had never heard it nor was interresting very much in have it sounded. The reviews have huge impact on the marked, what would happen if sterophil had said the transporte is a horrible analytical unbareble sounding, neon sign ameerican piece of worthless junk ? Slim would have sold 80 % less or worse closed down. Not that its what the think, but the alwasy try finding what the product have going for it and yes slim product measure very good by some standard i personaly couldent care less about. But many people will actually enjoy there system more and be more entusiastik about it if the can justifi it with somthing like it had amazing measurments in stereophil. The all sounds the same its all in your mind skeptics considder this a shortsigted victory. Thats also proberly why it pisses people of in a slim forum where most people allready are mass hypnoticed byt the Bit perfect, great review in stereophil curse when it got a bad review or somone says it sounds to analytical. When i started out i did the exact same thing i analysed the marked and placed my money where the reviews sounded best. What i ended up with was 4 shunyata anaconda cables, costing 2k each, a shunyata hyndra 8 costing 2500, usd 2 lyngdorf 2200 amps one with roomperfect a lyngsord cd.1, pair w210 corner subs gamut l3 speakers and 10.000 worth of cables. What i ended up with was a horrible analytical bright sound i couldent stand listing to. I ironicly what started this hoppy was sonus faber speakers with a linn amp and linn source, stupendiously i dident buy that , i bougt what had a review i loved most. -- harmonic ------------------------------------------------------------------------ harmonic's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6879 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41469 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
