Ortofon A90 or Air Tight PC-1

auditors struggling to setup? They are neither qualified nor have any special talent or listening skills. After listening to a couple of reviewers' systems I could only look up to heavens to save the readers. I am suprised people still pay attention to magazine reviews when a wealth of information from more knowledgable people is available all over the place.

Thuchan: I would bet my money on your opinion than TAS or Stereophile reviews :)

Just curious, have you heard Thuchan's system?

Me, I do not lay my trust in one's opinion unless I've personally heard their system.

Gallant_diva, thanks - you are not the only one who told me his opinion (also people who listened to the system). Nevertheless when it comes to listening rooms most reviewers`rooms look a little under-optimized.Of course they have to change equipments all the time. If you have a good ear you are still able to hear differences - somehow...

"Just curious, have you heard Thuchan's system?"

No, but I heard some reviewers' systems and that is why I cannot trust their opinion :) Most of them do not make any sense anyway and there is an underlying conlict of interest because the magazine exists to make money. And what listening diploma or certification do they have that makes their hearing more credible?

But I will take something worth considering if it is recommended by someone whose ears I can trust (but that does not include magazine reviewers). I used to read them 20 years ago for serious consideratio, then 10 years ago for humor, and now I do not even find any humor in them.

"Me, I do not lay my trust in one's opinion unless I've personally heard their system"

Yeah, that is ideal it could also take away you trut ;-)

May I help you?

The Audio Adventure

In spite of the measurement anomalies, this speaker is clearly a state-of-the-art product.
(It didn't SOUND broken when we gave it our top rating)

It was definitely Borderline Class A.
(It isn't that good, but it's sooo expensive and they're letting me keep it --- G-d I feel so cheap!)

Light years ahead of the competition.
(The competition won't give us a review sample)

This preamp is the new reference.
(We aint giving it back, and we aint payin' for it either)

We hire only the best writers.
(We'll hire any audiophile who recognizes a pencil two out of three tries)

This product had me pulling one record after another from my collection.
( I listened to all five of my records)

The images in the soundstage had that elusive and seductive sense of palatable presence.
(I haven't had sex since my wife left me and I'm starting to hallucinate)

Every once in a long while a product comes along that redefines the way we think about audio.
(I love my DSS satellite system)
