RE: Actually, subjective audio journalism arose in the vacuum

"how many audio writers...actually know what they are talking about technically":

That's a fact that's well-known to most manufacturers and something I actually had in my mind, too. Today it seems it's your "creative writing skills" and not your knowledge of the field that lands you that job in the audiophile publication. What's nice about Stereophile in this respect is that the mag usually provides the basic measurements to contrast with that florid prose presented as the actual review. Quite often can leave you quite alarmed or quite amused, depending on your perspective.

You can just scroll down in this forum to find examples discussed.

I do sympathize with the need to verbally excite the crowds, though. It works from the marketing point of view. You can just scroll down for example over in Hi-Rez to find examples.
