What reviews do you trust if any?

How many grains of salt are there?

I have purchased most of my gear from just the comments made by many reliable people here on this site. I never listened to the equipment before I purchased, and have never been disappointed with the results. Many folks have a lot of knowledge about what works best together. You just need to read the forums to figure out who to trust.

Abucktwoeighty, to never have been disappointed, your experience is not typical, and you have been a very fortunate and lucky audiophile.

Crwindy, I read plenty of reviews, but have learned that while the reviewer may or may not be capable and honest, the gear he used is so different from mine and the other variables so many, that I can't really trust his performance results.

Douglas shroeder of Dagogo.com. I bought a used pair of King sound speakers from him from his review online . Then months later i bought the Eastern Electric minimax plus dac he uses and reviewed on Dagogo . So far two for two . maybe some day i will try the Wells amp he just reviewed and bought .I did drive six hours from the reviews i read then got to hear before buying though .
