Send in the Clowns

I have just watched a review of a monoblock on another site. I will not mention the site nor the monoblock brand name. What I found funny was that the reviewer did not listen to the amplifier at all. All he did as measure it and say this is fantastic.His ears did not come into it at all. What a clown.

If you think it is a waste of time, then do not comment.

Personally, I listen to music,comedy, podcasts, etc. 

 

Perhaps some people, instead, listen to test tones????

@laoman Daniel von Recklinghausen, the head engineer of HH Scott (a US manufacturer of tube amplifiers in the 1950s and 60s) once said all you need to know:

If it measures good and sounds bad, it is bad; if it measures bad and sounds good, you've measured the wrong thing.

This statement should preface every thread on every audio forum on the internet.
