In Reply to: Why audio reviews are meaningless, though maybe fun to read posted by abajaj11 on May 19, 2004 at 07:21:44:
...one based strictly on measurement.You sound as if audio reviews are something more than the subjective opinion of the writer. They are not. Just as with film, concert, restaurant or automobile reviews, an audio review is about the emotional connection between the reviewer and what they are reviewing. The reason high end magazines often list the associated equipment and measurements is to give you the context of the review, but the final arbiter is ultimately subjective and personal.
I think that the audio magazines have been very forthright in stating that the review should be only but one part of the purchasing process, not some commandment from upon high.
For years there was a common conception that audio magazines took themselves too seriously, I fear you are reversing that particular fortune.
