Re: down the tubes, way down

Yes, down the tubes; I agree with Tom.

The reviews of equipment just are not what they used to be when HP was totally in charge. A reviewer used to describe his (normally close to SOTA) set-up, substitute the component in question, put on several very familiar disks (vinyl, acoustic instruments in real space) and evaluate the component by telling you what differences he heard as a result of the switch. The sound descriptions took up more space than the physical descriptions.

Read the drivel that is called a review of the Van Schweikert VR-4jr speakers to see what I mean. It is on line. I could point you to better reviews on the free web sites.

Could be that most people on this list don't remember TAS in its prime.
