Personally, I know of several audiophiles whose opinion I value MUCH MORE than any of the paid reviewers.
(And some of the paid reviewers opinions are crap, IMHO.)
(However, I do see your point that a newbie might not know the difference between a seasoned veteran audiophile whose opinions are based upon their experience, versus a blow-hard audiophile who is just professing his love of his own equipment!)
As you can tell, I am pretty jaded by the state of the professional magazines. TAS, and especially Stereophile, are, IMHO, a mere shell of what they used to be. I have found that I can get as much, or more, information online, from fellow audiophiles, (as well as some of the online audio websites, although I do take their advice with a large grain of salt).
My two cents worth.
