In Reply to: RE: TAS Spencer Holbert's Shameful Admission. posted by geezerrocket on April 07, 2014 at 10:48:49
But then being female, I'm an oddity amongst audiophiles and audio reviewers and as such have never considered myself one of "them".
I would not question another reviewer's sonic assessment of a product because there are simply too many variables such as associated gear, etc.
As far as not being willing to name a comparison product? Why use it then? Do you think Rotel will be bragging how their DAC is so good it shamed an unknown mystery DAC?

...it shamed an unknown mystery DAC?"
That cost several 'times' more, or even 'thousands' more?
(who knows for sure)
And why?
Because it's a 'name brand' DAC that's so expensive and so popular, even the reviewer is not free to disclose its name!
Will Rotel be bragging?
Of course they will!
The ad copy almost writes itself,
I think the shelf life on high-end audio has finally expired.
Just kidding :-)
Maybe it's just the shelf life on TAS.
For the record, Mr. Holbert indicated that the comparison DAC was the same price as the Rotel RRD-1580 in the review.
I do see your point though. I'm sure Rotel has already submitted excerpts of the review to their advertising department to milk it for all its worth.

I very much miss your reviews and wish you would get back in the game. :)

Thanks so much for the vote of confidence. Now don't burn me at the stake when my first review comes out :)
Do you have a gig!?
Click on the "R" next to my name. No reviews have been posted yet but I am currently working on one.
Great news. I hope plenty more requests for your services will follow.
