Busted! Reviewer copies manufacturers sales page in review?

That's not news. Post internet era all the subject experts copy and paste manufacturers brochure. If do research 90% reviews are fall in ame category especially the technology involved.

All audio magazines do this. Also, when have you seen a negative review of anything in an audio magazine. They are a joke.

All this nefarious practice aside…are Tellurium cables actually good? Has anyone here actually tried them (I’ll read back to see if I’ve missed someone who has)? Diluted truth tainting what is actually a good product, or is it just another case of sales over substance.

@stager Thanks for the link, I had never heard of your product before, definitely seems to be worth checking out. I use balanced cables from preamp to amp but not all my sources are so equipped. I’m thinking my processor (EQ) loop could benefit.

As to the thread topic, I haven’t been aware of outright plagiarism on the part of reviewers or manufacturers, but my eyes aren’t as sharp as the OP and others; I have often seen reviewers cite manufacturer’s literature or report on conversations with same when they are struggling to convey a novel design concept or innovative manufacturing practice. But then, I discriminate between reviews that are worth my time or not. I might likely not read reviews on posted websites of which I am not confident, of the website, that is. Reviewers themselves win me over by their approach to the topic, their honesty, and the elegance of their prose.
