I read this review about reviewers


https://www.13thnote.net/2020/07/25/the-fckd-up-nature-of-the-audiophile-audio-industry/

An interesting take on what's happening in the industry today.
It was Simon Price's personal experience, but I wonder if it's happening more often than not?

The problem with reviewers is that they make our choices inevitably oriented in some direction...

This direction is almost the same for almost all reviewers....What is the best new component on the market?

But what is important in Audio is not the choice of an electronic component at the end, there is plenty of good electronic components to choose first in this sea of products, but the most important at the end is the way we will embed the relatively good component we already have bought.... How to gives a way, how to make possible, and how to free his optimal S.Q. ?

But all reviewers guides our thinking process "nolens volens" in the urgent need to an upgrade not toward a rightful embedding of what we already own...

Then being paid or not, they are not neutral by the very requirements of their activity or profession....And for most Audio is synonymous with "generic" electronic design, not with the "specific" and necessary complex embeddings... But audio hobby is the art of  the improved listenings, not the art of buying a new " something" that will solve all audio problems out of the box....



«Man does not come from apes, and listening does not evolve from engineering, it is the reverse»-Groucho Marx


“Humans are apes, the ignorance here is astounding.”
Flat earthers felt the same way....as did those who believed the earth the center of the universe. Science evolves. Fact evolves. Some people don’t ;-)

Imo Abiogenesis and "embeddings" are two intellectually appealing schemes that go nowhere, in the first case literally, and the second, practically.  :)

Do not take your own confusion for reality....

And why do you compare "abiogenesis" and a simple notion like an"embedding" in audio matters, the embedding concept only clarify and presuppose some evident aspect and ways for an audio system to be working in a "specific" environment, then why relating this simple,evident notion, with a complex problem like life origin?

Are you confused or raging about my simple notion or the 2; or simply not rational for some reason?

Perhaps you are a reviewer and dont like my remarks about the inevitable bias of pro- reviewers?

Please clarify for us....

Thanks :)

But if i remember your posts to me in the past you expressively said that only money and upgrade can gives an audio top experience, no mechanical controls, no electrical grid controls, and not even acoustical controls all that i called "embeddings".... You even say to me to buy better speakers,without even knowing the speakers i own, instead of embedding rightfully the one i already have....You even said i was deluded or deluding myself because i was not thinking in the least to upgrade.... :)

Then it is not necessary to answer my actual post... You are a probably a pro- reviewer and you are confused or entertain the confusion in audio....All reviewers are not the same for sure....

My motto is : Dont upgrade something before embedding eveything rightfully....

Is it very difficult to understand a so simple advice? A children can understand that why not you?

No, except if you are brain dead or some kind of professional-reviewer or the 2, because there is a difference, all reviewers are not the same....


Defending ’creationism’ does not belong on a discussion about audio reviewers - even if a particular reviewer professes it.
