In Reply to: What credentials do we believe an audio reviewer should possess? posted by Bill Bond on June 21, 2015 at 15:22:13:
Hearing ability? A reviewer should have "average" hearing ability - not supernaturally good, not worse than average.Listening experience? Almost goes without saying. If they don't know what music sounds like and/or if they have not listened to and compared many different types of gear in many different situations, then there's little point in trying to write a professional review. That said, if I had to choose between a "gearhead" reviewer and a reviewer who really does know what live music sounds like - I'd surely pick the latter.
Writing ability? Sure.
Current setup? Not a big concern for me (why should it be?).
Honesty, integrity? Cross your fingers and pray.
The most important trait a reviewer can have is a real passion for music and listening. Passionate reviewers will always make sure that they have done their homework but, more importantly, they will know exactly how to connect with like-minded people.
