RE: Do magazines sell snake oil? How about a NOT RECOMMENDED COMPONENTS LIST?

"That they find more use in broad based surveys of equipment than individual reviews."

Use?

"Given that major sections of such surveys include speakers does that make the belief that speakers make a difference a belief in snake oil?"

It's only a small sample that are being tested in the first place.

How can anyone make "use" of such results without realizing they being oiled?

"Using" the results of such a survey ignores the whole world of unreviewed components.

The lists are snake oil and as such those who "use" the lists are guilty as charged.
Give me rhythm or give me death!
