Personal preferences rule, always, but that doesn't render professional reviewers irrelevant. Trained ears and broad experience is a boon in the sorting process in complex field of play. My ears can't audition every component choice out there, even though they may be the ultimate decider.

@kijanki “The problem is that everything is always positive. You can find how they classify them (A,B,C,D) in Recommended Components issue but in reviews you have to read between lines. For example "It is not perfect, but what is" statement means "It is pretty bad". They do this to keep money from advertising coming and for the same reason they don’t review some brands.” Just about sums up every review and every reviewer that I’ve ever read. You definitely should read between the lines. The better ones will always give you more clues regarding performance limitations if you are prepared to read carefully. |
I enjoy reading (and viewing on his YouTube channel) Steve Guttenberg « The Audiophiliac » He knows about the expensive stuff yet he reviews tons of more affordable (sometimes dirt cheap) gear and finds the positives in them. Steve is pretty cool and doesn’t take himself too seriously, unlike some snobby reviewers out there. https://youtu.be/aGmOK3T3c5w https://youtu.be/bLh7E4PfwBc |
