That was not my point

Posted by Amphissa on December 31, 2016 at 14:08:25:

My point was that hi-rez streaming seems to be a primary criterion for selecting recordings to recommend, rather than the music/performance. In other words, if a recording is hi-rez (esp streaming), it is more likely to be recommended (or even mentioned) than recordings that are available only as ordinary red book CD or low-rez. Which means that good music/performances that are not available in hi-rez (esp streaming) get overlooked.

Same deal with the pretty girls. If one goes back through the recommendations, one sees lots of recordings by pretty girls recommended (or sometimes not). Whereas there are far fewer recordings by guys recommended (or not mentioned). Are pretty girls better musicians than guys? Well, they are certainly more popular here.

As I said in my OP, the biases here are not critical issues for me, because we know what the biases are and can take them into consideration. It is the biases of industry reviewing sources that are much more suspect, because their biases are often not as apparent.
