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

NO

No

If someone like Ericsquires, for example, has been listening and tweaking for 30-40 years I’d be curious to hear what he has to say after living with a component for a month. Then it would be cool to contrast his view with several others who also had an opportunity to live with the same product for a month. 
I have a sneaking suspicion many of the naysayers are just being contrarian here. If one doesn’t care about what reviews have to say or anyone on this form’s view, why even read the forums?  Maybe I’m being a touch flippant here. :). 
I particularly enjoy and find value in what others have experienced with a product. While it’s likely far from gospel, unpaid real life listeners trying out products in their systems are a good source for me to look at. 
While I really enjoy pros like Fremer, Reichert, Kessler, Guttenberg and so on, these dudes do have to answer to bosses. These dudes are not traditionally building systems the way we “ordinary folk” are. These dudes, as lovely people as they are, are not typically in the same position as strict hobbyists.  
I use what others say and think as a guide. It’s a guide that I must vet yet one I enjoy and use as a tool. 

But for one exception; I’d sooner pay to have Julian Hirsch resurrected!

There are reviewers who I trust, and then those who are in it for the wrong reasons, and obviously getting big kickbacks from companies for a good review. We’d be fooling ourselves to think otherwise. YouTube is full of both, and certain ones are absolutely cringeworthy, but this isn’t YouTube. It’s a group of our peers. I don’t think it’d hurt to at least put together a list and then group of willing individuals here on A’gon with earned credibility to do such a thing. Will it come to fruition? That, I don’t know. There’s a lot of variables at play too, such as their listening rooms, and you’d have to make sure things such as cables used in these reviews are exactly the the same and with the same amount of burn in time, if you wanted accuracy.  There’s much more I can’t think of off the top of my head, but I at least believe it to be a cool idea.
