Best Place for Negative Reviews?

Old Stereophiles from mid to late 80s had a whole bunch of negative reviews.It is very refreshing sometimes to go back and revisit the good old times of true audio reviewing.Unfortunately,it's not a case anymore.I am tired of reviewers raving about Triangle and Musical Fidelity.

Check out the reasons why rags like stereophile won't write a negative review at arthur salvatore's site. here's the specific link to reviewing the reviewers:

That is brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How many times do you think a reviewer is already wanting an item he "requests" to review in a simple effort to obtain something he really wants anyway on the cheap?
I read reviews and respect some of the folks doing reviews but it just appears that being a reviewer is like winning the lottery for an Audiophile, yea they always go out of their way to say how much work it is and how much they sacrifice for other enthusiasts, it isnt work if it is your hobby and passion so when they try to convince me that what they do is a thankless chore........... I laugh.

With all of the money, favors, freebies, vacations, dinner, lunches, condo usage ad nauseum it's really difficult to take magazine reviews seriously.

Just like political debates and talk radio/television, it must be taken FWIW i.e. entertainment.

Read for fun but listen to learn.
