I agree. Audio Review is a waste of time as it is full of people that put down products they have never heard, on the basis of seeing the spec sheets. I have no such problem with those who are new to audio that have open minds and are prepared to listen for themselves.
2 channel high end disscussion
Despite the flames and abundance of naysayers ,Audio review's general discussion is crowded with low fi and home theater and one has to weed through many posts to find general topics for the 2 channel hifi audio enthusiast. At A.R.,there is no specific concern for those of us who are discriminating and appreciate better sound,whether entry level separates or reference components.I have made multiple requests at A.R. ,to add a general hifi section there and have gotten no concerns or answers.I see the beginning of what has recently happened to A.R., starting right here ,as the low fi and h.t.crowd are discovering this site, and it would be a greatly appreciated addition to have our own dedicated section to help make an already great site come full circle in considering this great need.Yes ,all the other sections are greatly appreciated here and an added General hi end section would be a breathe of fresh air to not feel crowded out and for once and all have a safe haven.
