Im all for having a review section only and keep them there.Im tired of seeing reviews by guys that think they have it going when most the time they have no clue...yep, a review section would be great
Would you donate a dollar to have these Members Review a Product?
So, I've been thinking that there are a number of hifi products that I would love to hear or, at least, reviewed by folks I know and respect. I then thought what if a panel of fellow members each listened and reviewed the product.
I'd pay money to read (or watch/hear) ericsquires, wolfgarcia, millercarbon, and georgehifi each receive the same amp, speaker, etc. and review it.

Reviews do have their place and purpose. You get to read about products. Without reviews, you would be hard pressed to even know about them. Take the personal reviews with a grain of salt. There is serious bias with reviewers. However, that allows you to read about the specifications, see the pictures, and decide to go hear for yourself. I don't purchase audio magazines often, but when I do, I want to read about the product listed. Like wine reviewers, I don't agree with most of them by experience, so, that isn't why I read the reviews. Most audio stores don't carry very many products within a certain category. They can't. entirely too expensive for them. So, audio stores are a good place to listen. Remembering that it isn't your home and is not using your other equipment, so it may sound different in your home. Same for reading a review. not your home (or room), not your appurtenant equipment, and definitely not your ears, likes or dislikes. So take it with a grain. But, without the magazines and/or reviews, most of us wouldn't even know a product existed. But no. I won't pay (at this time) for a review on-line. I purchase magazines at times to see where the industry is currently at. enjoy |
*L* I'll volunteer....if only to give a 'now for something totally Different' viewpoint.... No preferences, no bias, no 'fancy soundspace', and absolutely nothing to lose nor gain. "Well, it arrived looking like the shipping department ate lunch on the box...and missed their mouths a lot...." Don't send cables....;) |
...On the + side: I have a Bobcat with forks, so liftgate service is not required. Nor do I have to shanghai a neighbor, or pay for their chiropractor.... On the - side: I’ll have to come to some sort of ’agreement’ with our regular FedEx, UPS, and USPS drivers.... They will not be thrilled...*L* "WTH is IN that box?! Lead bars?!" (Mono amps....but...) "Oh, just some unobtanium.....we're expanding into that market....." "W..Why does it weigh so much?! Damn....bent my handtruck..." "It's unobtainum.....it's like that....Thanks..." |
