Home Critic's Corner

Discuss a review. Provide constructive feedback. Talk to the industry.

Good reviewers...

...don't need to be accomplished musicians, but they need to be very familiar with the sound of live, unamplified music, attending concerts regularly.

And they need to have excellent critical listening skills, which can be learned.

Plus they need to have insight and the ability to describe the things they hear in a way the reader can relate to, understand and enjoy.

Two of the greatest reviewers ever - JGH and HP were not musicians.

Today with the disappearance of B & M stores, audio review magazines have taken on a new importance in exposing readers to new equipment they may want to seek out and buy.

Even though I haven't bought any new components in years and have no interest in buying, I enjoy reading the two print magazines because they are entertaining and a part of my hobby.

I also enjoy reading Auto Week, even though I have no plans to buy a Porsche.
