Often I get the impression that many are looking for validation of a purchase they've already made. I've seen posts where people are hammering on some reviewer wanting to know when they were going to review the ABC Combo Dac and coffee maker. They swear it is the best ever and the best they have ever owned and when, darnit, when are you going to review it? My feeling has always been, why do you care, you've already bought it.....UNLESS....they are a shill! LOL
Are many audiophiles only seeking approval of the next purchase?
I find a good num of forum posts to be in this realm. Facts ignored only posts that agree are considered of worth.
