Would you donate a dollar to have these Members Review a Product?

Whaaat?

But seriously for the curious, please do Visit 2L and the free downloads section in many formats and study the different sonic attributes from someone I consider a true master. The sonic space is astounding:-)

did I mention it’s free ?

Reviews Can have Some merit, but usually it isn't so much about the sound that grabs me. Using a product will educate you soon enough about things such as whether a remote has the needed features and ease of use, for example. Yes, you can read about it in the manufacturers ad, but they won't include statements that you may automatically trust. I like to know that a chassis is well made, or that switches and knobs don't have some kind of funkiness to them. I could go on, yes, but these observations too are important to me as a consumer. 
 Knowing about the reviewer also lets me trust, or not, his taste in music and more. So many times when I am reading a review, I am wishing that the reviewer would just get to the point, and not run comparisons to wine, cars or seemingly related topics (to him, that is).

while I can play Carnival it’s not in my normal wheelhouse.  Jazz, funk and big band is where I do damage.  I’ve tipped the meter a few times with my Callichio 1s2 in the upper register (F6, Ab6 and Bb6) in excess of 140 dB which the Shure SM27(?) did not seem to handle well.  Full round core sound really flattened out.

I am a Fluke fanboy myself.  Just bought myself another one with a nice case.
