Busted! Reviewer copies manufacturers sales page in review?

@mulveling Astute.

But are we sure it isn’t the manufacturer who lifted this adulating tripe from the REVIEW?

Noromance- just because Fremer said something doesn’t make it better. All the top car mags evaluate multiple cars and only 1 is the winner. When audio mags can truly evaluate multiple products against each other and rate them from best to worst, then the audio mags are worthless to me.

jpwarren58- the good car mags do a good job rating multiple cars at 1 time, claiming only 1 is the true winner and the others are not. Something else that the car mags do that the audio mags do not: the car mags don’t always pick the winner to be the car that costs the most where almost all the time, the more expensive the audio product, more often you will see it picked the best of the best

One person's 'best' can be somebody else's 'worst', so that audio mags should still be worthless with totally subjective 'best' v 'worst' comparisons, unless you're talking purely about measurements. 

@rbstehno I'm inclined to agree with you on car mags but, as @larsman points out, audio perception and preference is very subjective. ​​​​​​​

*L* ....and all this isn't really news, is it?

Imho, where does one think that FauxNeus? got it's format?

Say it often enough, and it seems to be true....kinda...may be....*soft snort*

On an related note, or a different aspect of what y'all chase this 'n that to appreciate....I just received the other day a copy of Sweetwaters' Fall '22 ProGear Select 'mini-catalog'.

When one has an expanded view of what goes on prior to hitting your stuff, the concept of a never-ending pursuit of perfection that reminds me of the ever-expanding universe.

You will never reach the edge because it's always out of reach..

*hmmm* A digital patchbay....how kewl.... ;)

Keep up the hunt. ;) J
