Paul, what I feel people are missing is that there is something else behind the fact that some kind of fool has written a foolish review. You see, by constant writing their ordinary idiotic articles the reviewers take microphone out of the people who should be taking – the manufacturers. Manufacturers should be the people who should express in publication their objectives, intentions, reference points and the ways in wish their products should be used. And I’m not taking about the fools manufacturer who sometime pop in the publication and try to imitate the fool reviewers. A manufacture is like a pianist – there are no needs to play if you have nothing to say. I am taking about the manufacturers who are able to demonstrate conviction, certainty and the means to demonstrate their convictions. Besides, it would be beneficial for us, the users,– people would clearly see that majority of high-end manufactures are in fact the “naked kings” who are not worthy even to listen not to mention to vote with their money

Look, for instance what HP did in the last TAS. Instead of writing his typical-glorifying “release notes” (to witch he apparently already feel abhorrence himself) he decided to introduce Hansen’s new speaker letting the manufacturer to talk himself. (The reason why I read it because I was informed that Hansen was expressing a lot of very similar things that I’m pitching for years). Agree or disagree I with what I read but it was less disgusting then the typical garbage we accustom to read from most of the reviewers. Defiantly I would prefer HP did not ask sophomoreic question and Lars Hansen had a chance to express more interesting views then … what is “today expected by hi-hi crowd”. Form a different perspective perhaps HP was right navigating Hansen into primitivism. The industry people could operate only at ETHER level of bogus “incredulous technically” OR at level of “spirituality for sale”. If they, god forbid mix it together then they sound more like a mix of  Charley Manson and John Marks… both revolting but the mix is  not only revolting …. but well “deserved” to be published… in the hi-fi publications…
