Honesty of the Reviewers


How honest you think the reviewers are? How often you see them saying one component is not good, most of time they will say this is the one of the best..... And you think when they say "I like it so I buy it." is more like " I get it free from the manufactor"?

Well, I'm not sure that "audiophiles are generally no fools." Do you have any idea how hard it is to sell something though really really good is not listed among Stereophile's recommended components. Or how many sales are made immediately upon a rave review to people who have never heard what they're buying? Let's, please, not get into the prices paid for designer cables (I'm NOT a wires is wires troll, but know that the margins are really big).

Red, you're probably right about the salary. They do get good salaries, but the income from their reviews or editing or whatever helps.
Believe nothing you read and only half of what you hear.. Take it all with a grain of salt and you should be ok...
Dear Mr. Magoo, why read at all then, if it isn't true anyway and when listening, what should I do with the other half? Do you really think, life is a simple as that? Come now....
Just like major news media they write what they were told to write and tell what they were told to tell to earn living.
