The Absolute Sound "review" of USB cable reads suspiciously like a press releaste


I mean c'mon—can't you even throw in a few according-to-the-manufacturer's?

It says Equipment Report in the top right corner. A press release masquerading as a review pretty sad.
Hi, this is Consumer Man. I just had to chime in and say how nice it is to see someone is on the job and protecting the consumer within this forum... And i mean that sincerely, i take my consumerism seriously and a reviewer masquerading as a "reviewer with an agenda" appears to be typical of todays standards. Keeps us on our toes if nothing else..  
“Until you get to hear any product it’s best to treat all reviews as mere infomercials”

Well said, @cd318.  Same goes for full page advertisements in TAS and Stereophile. 


I agree, but do enjoy glistening and disappearing hi-hats although I wonder, where do they go?
