The problem is that 95%+ of the "reviews" are positive. Plus, if a manufacture allows long-term "loans" (bribes?), they seldom get less than a "one of the best" type "reviews". This is just one reason why I favor the blind listening tests done in Hi-Fi Choice. Lacking those tests, I want to know what components the reviewer bought with their hard-earned money. Those are components I seek out for further listening. Art Dudley has done the best job in detailing his personal audio system, all self-purchased. I guess MF has also purchased all of his reference system, but, from the prices of that system, MF must be a muli-millionaire, and his units are well beyond (in price, at least) what I want to spend. Yes, Stephen Mejias also does a superb job in detailing those components he purchases. BTW, several reviewers in TAS have mentioned units they bought: Dick Olsher, Steven Stone, and Sue Kraft, and others. Plus, HP and JV regularly admit in their reviews that some relatively affordable piece of equipment (like the Magnepan 1.7 and 3/7 speakers) competes favorably with their super expensive equipment on long-term "loan".
