Why do hifi reveiwers do this The'll give a four-five star review for something that isn't quite worth the money compared to somehting else.

Not just in the youtube link below. But elsewhere too. I remeber reading a review for a pair of expensive speakers that haflway through the man admitted the speakers weren't much better than the cheaper pair he'd reviwed earlier. Yet he gave it a Rave review.

If it doesent sound good on my amplifier, I'd take it back and find something more suitible for the sound of my amp. same thing with source
components. Bad sounding CD player either gets returned, or its cheap it gets binned.

Expensive DACS and cables. never. More than 1000.00 for a DAC that hant been proven to be any better than the built in DAC in your receiver is too much of a gamble.
