YOU KNOW IT IS GOING TO BE A BAD DAY FOR A REVIEWER WHEN

8. The component they are asked to review is rumored to spontaneously catch on fire.

7. The component they are asked to review sounds so bad that it is a real drag that it doesn’t have a reputation for catching on fire.

6. They are asked to review some very revealing speakers and they reveal that their system sucks.

5. They are asked to review $100K amps and they have never had an amplifier in their system worth more than $10K – and they have just been accused of never having a bad thing to say about anything they review.

4. They are asked to review and say something intelligent about a component even though the rest of their system is composed of a hodge-podge balancing act of overly bright and overly congested components.

3. They are asked to review a speaker that goes down to a middling 2 ohm impedance and their personal amps are known to only be able to drive speakers if they are above 4 ohms.

2. They drop and or in some manner break the component they have been asked to review and it is too late to send it back and get a working one before the review is due to be written.

and the most worst day possible is:

1. They say something bad about the Audio Asylum… in public.
