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

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.

I cannot resist reading reviews, even bad one...But it was very misleading for me 7 years ago, at the beginning of my conscious audio journey, instilling in me the false impression that upgrading an electronic components was the key to Hi-Fi, and it is absolutely false...

Alas! Most people think like me 7 years ago...

But I loved reading reviews this is a point I cannot negate...
