RE: Stereophile Reviews Moot Points

So what are you left with? What is the bottom line? One person's opinion of the equipment he had assembled in his room which could and probably will sound different in your room even if it is the same equipment. But the chances of even that are one in a gazillion. Every change you make to what he had, every difference gives different results. And if it's true that it's a matter of preference and the measurements of certain equipment doesn't necessarily correlate to what someone "likes" then what is the value of the reviews? In fact all the reviewer has to do is move the speakers around in his room and both the measured and perceived sound will change.

So how does one go about becoming a shopper? I think it may start with a dart board, a blindfold, and a few cold pints.
