After reading the responses to my post suggesting that members contribute reviews of recordings, I thought I ought to clarify my idea. I did not intend for Audiogon to formally manage a "Reviews" section, although it would be nice if they did. A search engine that would allow people to do specific searches for CD's, players, etc., would also be nice, but again not necessary. I recommend that we start simply by having members submit reviews, which (as someone else suggested) could be identified in the title of the post, such as: Jazz: Bill Evans, or Classical: Bach Goldberg Variations. Since the general reaction my post was favorable, I will commit to writing a review in the next few days and have it posted by this weekend. Best wishes to everyone for a sunny and safe Memorial Day weekend.
Jazz Review
You may have seen the thread regarding a review section. This is a trial as suggested by member Elgordo to see how it might work in our current forums, since there currently is not a review section. If this works, perhaps Audiogon will add a dedicated review section.
Please review on album or CD per reply. Change the sub title to read: {the artist}, {album title}, {performance rating}, {sonic rating}.
Performance and sonic ratings on a 1 - 10 scale. In the body write a short review and at the end put in all album information (catalog number, label, etc.) so that other A-goners can easily find it for purchase.
I realize "Jazz review" is kind of crazy because it encompasses so much, but we have to start somewhere and hopefully this will get A-gon's attention to add a section with more refined categories, a rating system by which all can add their ratings for an individual album.
