and this has greatly complicated customers making buying decisions. Of course the proliferation of reviewing mags. often results in conflicting information. But there will always be the question of the corruption of reviews.

I don't much worry about it because if I find myself consistently disagreeing with a reviewer for any reason, I stop paying attention to his reviews. Also, there are so many sources of information today that it's easy to get a second, third, and twentieth opinion before you buy. I've never found that the hit rate is 100% anyway, and that's true even if I audition the gear at a dealer's, since I'm listening in different acoustics with different ancillary equipment. Reviews are a good way to narrow your list to a manageable number of candidates, a good supplement to what you hear at the dealer's (since the reviewer listens at length in a domestic environment), and a good way to get a fix on equipment that can't be auditioned because you live too far away or your local dealer doesn't carry it.
