Well, it is not about talking about reviewers as people but rather about reviewers as functional entities. You see, in audio reviewers are somebody who develop talking points for the audio people who operate under herd mentality supervision.  If you find an average so-called audiophile and interrogate him about his actions, motivations and objectives (and I did IT many times) then you very seldom will see any reasoning in there besides just parroting the direct quotes from the reviewers’ talking points. So, in the way observing the reviewer’s stupidity one can perfectly predict the development of the industry tendencies for a next few years. I know it looks very cynical but it is unfortunately what it is. If you look for any today’s advancing audio product then you will see behind them just stricture absentminded marketing, in which the stupidity and disqualification of reviewers is well factored in.  

The disqualification is very much a key in this.  We had majority of reviewers who qualify to do what they do because of completely artificial reasons. There are a huge number of reviewers or juts private reviewers who feel to qualify for anything juts because the spent some money for audio equipment. The reality is – the context of message unfortunately can’t be bought, faked or impersonated. If Robert Harley worked for a magazine where I were an editor then I would feel that the QUALITY of the article about that Lamm amplifier that Robert submitted was a fireable offence.  But it is the argument that we had with my wife this morning – she feel that I have unrealistically high expectations. Well, I was for years discarded irrelevant, simulated women and was waiting unit I found such a sensational miracle as Amy, so something I do right…
