In Reply to: A critic castigates the critics -- Excellent article! posted by clarkjohnsen on February 2, 2007 at 18:07:01:
don't you think? I think one trip to any audio show pretty much shows you that there are many different perceptions of good sound, and therefore many ways to skin a cat. This is definitely not a one-size-fits-all hobby.So it seems to me that a reviewer has to bear all of that in mind, and do what they can to draw out the best of what a component can offer. If not, we could save everyone a lot of time and effort by having my wife write all reviews. They would be: (1) "That's nice, I really like that!" or (2) "That sucks, put the old stuff back now!". Riveting, right?
But I am curious about who the man behind the Dr. Sardonicus mask is. I'm certain it isn't Randy California.
Fun read though, and that is what I like about audio reviews......even philosophical ones.
