In Reply to: Isn't the real question how magazines could make their reviews more helpful to potential buyers? posted by Frihed89 on February 26, 2012 at 03:23:08:
Enjoy The Music.com reviews used to include a rating system in chart form. The rating system could be expanded to include a brief description of why the product got a certain rating. Here's an example (converted to text) from a Dynavector Karat 17D3 review...
Tonality 90
Sub-bass (10 Hz - 60 Hz) 95
Mid-bass (80 Hz - 200 Hz) 95
Midrange (200 Hz - 3,000 Hz) 95
High-frequencies (3,000 Hz on up) 95
Attack 95
Decay 95
Inner Resolution 85
Soundscape width front 85
Soundscape width rear 85
Soundscape depth behind speakers 85
Soundscape extension into the room 85
Imaging 90
Fit and Finish 85
Self Noise 95
Value for the Money 95
