So what if I buy it and send it to you for review???

Posted by audio39 on February 16, 2012 at 06:03:23:
Cuz I think it's really sad that these monster sized companies like Denon, that make some really awesome products for their own Japanese markets as well as those in the UK, don't send those same products to North America.

It can't be that they could not compete on a price vs performace scale...so what is it?

I wonder if any of the anniversary players would be left to buy if a review had given it due praise?

Audio magazines and the reviewers writing the articles have a huge influence on what is sought after and those products that are ignored. I would hope that most folks only use reviews as a reason to search out a product for their own review, but my point is that Stereophile and other audio mags are a source of info to get rolling with.

A quick look at a site like Hifido will give anyone good insight to products that we will never see, but are the cats meow for the markets they feed.

Anyway...that's my rant for this morning!

Rick.
