Did you read this?????
START
Does Writer X's writing help you choose equipment more wisely? Does he or she introduce you to worthwhile new music? Does he or she increase your understanding and appreciation of music you already are familiar with? Or are you stuck reading the prose equivalent of "The Six Tenors" warming up in their dressing room: "Me me me me me me me!"

THAT is my definition and negative example of the "USEFULNESS" of audio writing.
HOW can a writer help you choose equipment "more wisely" EXCEPT by listening?
It was so obvious to me I did not think it needed mentioning.
And it seems to me that most people who read that took it the same way.
I might as well have had to assure people I listened to things I wrote about.
Oops, my bad, perhaps that not is always the case with audio writers?
