Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site

Roman notes among other things: I wrote 5 years ago at AA (...) that:
 
"in the contemporary audio world the audio reviewing process is nothing more then a creation of literature that brings a perception of prospective readers to the limited level of the reviewing components."

In the contemporary audio there is no established mechanism for the objective evaluation of subjective benefits."

I would agree. I'd feel that the objective of "audio journalism" (for wont of a better description) is entertainment -- not an "evaluation" that can be used for reference purposes.
So, the components discussed/presented are simply the vehicle of this entertainment. Similarly, in general public large publication (say Vogue) there are product presentations and articles, etc -- the "product vehicle" is different.

As to Mr Fremer's vehement assertions above...
He seems to have an axe to grind with people who are, the typical "high-flyer" profile: high income-bracket kids,  who can afford to be arrogant and snobbish and "above it all", and who can ultimately afford a Ferrari at whim even if they drive a 2CV.
He seems to believes that Romy is one such high earner, etc.
Whether Romy is or not is not an issue (Romy's system, for one, is quite expensive anyway) -- it's just interesting to read Mr Fremer's reaction! Cheers
