is an absolute judge, but good critics are professionals, spending far more time than casual, amateurs appreciators, in attending performances, researching performers' histories, and other necessary tasks. My point was that the consensus opinions of them, over time, is valuable.
It is ironic to be discussing this on a website that most probably wound't even exist were it not for two magazines that were all about criticism: The Absolute Sound and Stereophile. Imagine a lengthy review of a piece of equipment with no judgement of its worth. That would truly be worth-less.

Imagine reviews in Stereophile or Absolute sound that simply gave a yea or nay "judgment" and dollar value of the products' worth. Two sentences.

When they review an amplifier, they put it on the bench and see if it measures as well as the mfg spec says it does. If it does, that's a good review. Period. Hardly seems worth writing an article around a handful of basic measurements.
