Of Course They Are Biased

In fact any review that isn't purely technical is biased. Why because subjective opinions are just that, subjective. And there is no accounting for the variables that impact human opinion.

Over time, one does learn the bias style of long term reviewers. Note that in the case of SP (just using them as an example), they tend to assign components to reviewers who are sympathetic to the type of component. AD rarely reviews high power SS, while KR rarely reviews low power tubes.

The media can be helpful in creating a short list for consideration, but ultimately it comes down to your ears...how does something sound to you ? Do you know your biases ?
