The evaluations are not fair at all - but I don't think they're being OFFERED as fair evaluations. You would need to spend more time with each system, have a SPL meter to get levels close, and play familiar music or better yet the same track for each audition. Shows are just not set up for this. What I want to know from the show-goers is who brought the coolest gear, who's over the top, and who is fun and engages the attendees.

I usually take casual listening impressions with a grain of salt. But when audiophiles say they get stuck in a certain room and the more tracks they hear the more they realize the sound in that room is "right" - well statements like that tend to get more of my attention.

Cheers,
