The POINT is about hidden biases. And apparently, the thrust of this is that you can uncover those hidden biases through knowing what I own outright and what I have on loan.I stopped short of saying that this is simplistic, but I will say it now. It is simplistic.
I HATE doing large speaker reviews, so as soon as I find one I can live with, I am settling in and that will be that ... infer WHAT from this decision? I got tired, I finally found nirvana? You still have read what I write about them.
Digital sources are changing so fast remaining at the leading edge will produce poverty.
I quit doing wire reviews as soon as I heard Jena Labs, almost ten years ago, and nothing I have heard since has caused me to rethink that decision for more than a nanosecond.
Point is, and Ms. Kraft adds too ... it is COMPLICATED and what I own I own for various reasons, and what I loan I loan for various reasons.
I am perfectly happy to go along with this, but I just really don't see the benefit.
Hum, maybe I am missing something ...
