If I can’t see it and hear it in person I am generally not interested. Lack of in home demo or decent return policy is usually a deal breaker for me.

 

Same here. 

Maybe 90% of the time reviews are just promoting a product advertised in the publication or website running the review.
Rarely is there anything negative said about the product. Occasionally there’s a rave review where you can sense it’s more than just a plug.

On the rare occasion when the product is not advertised and there’s no financial incentive to praise it, you might find a sincere review. (Absolute Sound was like that many years ago, when the late, great Harry Pearson was the publisher.)

And if that reviewer thinks highly enough of the product to actually buy it - at the retail price, you can be reasonably sure there’s some genuine value in his opinion.

Here are some examples of that sort of review:

I read audio reviews for “entertainment” purposes only.  If they peak my interest, I do my own due diligence. 

FTC is brilliant… at rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.  Read Lina M. Khan‘s bio.  She is a classic study in Ivy League machinery-cog dynamics.  With her PhD (Probably hasn’t Done it), she will slay the dragon…of what?  Human behavior?  What actual laws broken will be applied to such cases?

These people have a crushing lack of understanding Homo sapiens.  She would last 5 minutes on the real mean streets of business.  The expended energies and capital on such endeavors reminds us of why an understanding of “Gulliver’s Travels” is far more valuable than that PhD… in the real working world.

Our tax dollars at work targeting fluff.  Cats chasing laser pointers.
