You decided not to bother because you know that in fact all we can do, short of flashing around our graphs, is describe what we hear as carefully and with as much enthusiasm (or disappointment) as the experience seems to merit. I for one can't bear to read the sort of thing that passes for objectivity in audio reporting. An itimized check list of how a component meets or fails to meet certain separable sonic goals, which no human could possibly paste together into a coherent sense of what anything sounds like. Listening to music is not a dispassionate experience. When it becomes that, something's likely wrong with ones system, not right.

It's easy for me to say this about an Audio Note review, but I've said it about others as well. Tell us what you hear and what it does to you. Write well enough so that we can hear through your prose to the nature of the listening experience. If enough folks do that about a particular product, a consensus about it will grow, trust me.

And I do believe that some stuff IS better than some other stuff. Some stuff is a LOT better. And it makes me very happy when someone is bold enough to say so.
