In Britsh audio magazines you will often see products rated with stars, or letter grades -- it is very simple to determine which products are rated below average.Please identify one or two component "reviews" in American audio magazines where the reader is clearly told the product is average or below average.
Please identify one review where the reader is told to audition other (better) products, and not waste his time on the product reviewed.
Blathering about a product for three pages is not criticism unless the product is compared with other products at similar prices, and the reader is informed that the product being reviewed is merely average or below average versus its peers. That's real criticism.
Where dos one find definitive criticism (no "reading between the lines and trying to guess what the author really means" required) in American audio journals that are supported by advertising revenue?
