Reviews are hard to write well, and even potentially well-written reviews are hard to glean relevant info from
The more succinct point of the last post: Reviews are hard to write well [assuming an honest, attentive, diligent reviewer], and even potentially well-written reviews are hard to glean relevant information from.
Some sort of formalized yet subjective review (different but analogous to JA’s technical measurements) would be called for if people really wanted reviews to be more than ‘mild entertainment’.
I have a high-end audio interest from the past when I was shopping for my high-end audio system. Nowadays, I stay away from high-end audio discussions and focus on enjoying my high-end audio system. Recently, I wrote some pages about my high-end audio system which I would like to share here.
