It is more or less in the same direction like any Product Placement ( some call it review) from that group who lives from sales. That means, it is always the same "direction":
Rule No 1: Compare the object with something similar which is much more expensive and you are always on the safe side.
No matter how crappy the unit is (or overpriced), in comparison to a much more expensive one you will always find something which is ok. Best example for that are comparisons among cartridges. an average cartridge, which is overpriced and from performance not worth to talk about, will be rated against something even more expensive....
NO one will ever compare such a unit to a cartridge which is 1/3 the price, even when that one is better (for example Lyra Kleos/Delos/Atlas, Benz carts... compared side by side or Lamm LL1 to Lamm LL2.1...) the "reviewer" will look desperately for any kind of difference which will save his "report" (especially when he bought it) and the usual sentence is: The cheaper unit will give you 90% of the Performance from the more expensive one, but these 10% are the holy grail, or to get these last 10% you have to pay way more for it...blubber....
Of course the reviewer will get in touch with the designer and he gets the information why this or that unit (cartridge for example) is technically more "advanced"( the coil is downside up now/the coil was made from Mars dust we got from NSA via Edward S./new coil angle is 43,2° and glued via ultrasonics)....it is ok when you can really hear it in the first 5 seconds, but different sound is not identical with "better sound"...
