As you may know, audio reporting, for most of us doing it "professionally", means little or no recompense, hence most audio reviewers get a little short-tempered when hit with strongly worded crticisms. Regardless of what one may think about this or that reviewer or particular review, there's always a lot of work that went into it - and though the outcomes may not always justify the efforts, the efforts rendered do explain why reviewers on a whole respond better when critiques are given in a friendly spirit of constructive criticism rather than outright personal attacks and slander.

That said (and only where my own rag is concerned) I welcome inmates on this forum to critique 6moons.com, the navigation system, the quality of content, the product mix etc - in the spirit of further improving our efforts by learning what you like and not like so much.

Now here comes the *special* request (didn't think I was gonna make it this easy, right?): If/when something about us posts, could someone send me a quick note to srajan@6moons.com just to alert me? I'm honestly way too busy to keep tabs on forums but I do like to participate when I benefit (e.g. learn something I can implement to make 6moons even better).

Thanks, y'all.

Thanks for the compliments. And I was serious - compliments are nice and we take 'em by the bushel-full, but constructive criticisms that help us all do an even better job are appreciated as well.

Especially when a magazine grows like ours, it's challenging to keep the navigation easy yet retain full access to the growing content AND implement the necessary ad support in a way that is attractive yet not cluttered, visible yet not cause for frustration to people logging on.

Cheers

Thanks for the fine efforts!

The praise I gave your mag is very well deserved.

As for Bosh, I know this gentleman. He and I met in a place called "Outside". Did he point you in that direction?

But one-manufacturer systems are different - say Arcam, Adcom, Naim, Cambridge Audio, Audio Refinement etc.

Lemme see what we can line up beyond the two that are already in the chute. Good idea - thanks!

Also, you need more variety in the music reviews to cover the other venues. And, these music reviews need the two tier'd 1-10 rating system, one for content and one for recording quality (ie, Hi-Fi+).
