I like Steve Guttenberg.

Steve Gutenberg handles being in that 'difficult' zone between the manufacturers and the public better than just about anyone I know. Most of his contemporaries have little or no integrity left.

Michael Fremer and Ken Kessler are good too in a witty sardonic way.

I am also a fan.  I've run into him numerous times at audio shows.  He is friendly, humble and just a really nice guy.  I do read some of his posts on CNet.  I think he is one of the more trustworthy audio journalists working today.  I don't subscribe to his YouTube channel (no free time), but I might, based on the OP's comments.

For the longest time, I thought he was the actor.  But this one is more than a foot shorter...

These videos seem like an honest attempt to express his opinion. He slanders no one. Don't like, don't watch, simple. BTW does it seem to you the hair part of this thread is just ludicrous?
