RE: How about abuse of the word "review"?

I think you misunderstand what the Greatest Bits designation actually is:

There is a Class ranking of the Greatest Bits components which you could consider Recommended components.

The fact is, the designation of Greatest Bits is not given with the expectation of advertising. All you have to do is look at what has been reviewed and who is advertising. The editorial component of AudioStream is entirely separate from the advertising. I have never been told to give a good review to anyone by Michael. He is the only one I have ever communicated with at AudioStream.

I review because I love our hobby and for selfish reasons as well. I get to enjoy new components for an extended period of time-something that I could never do unless I was a reviewer.

I think you hit the nail on the head when you stated that perhaps you should listen to a product I rave about. That's all anyone should take from a rave review other then the factual information provided.

You and I have been going at it for over 10 years now. Here's to the next ten Fred.
