How many reviewers try a component in the context of of a desk top system, TV system, main room system, and to be fair, as many type of gear possible to get a decent and synergistic pairing so as to fairly review the component?
(This requires keeping a retinue of equipment handy so as to insure proper matching and not the usual excuse that the reviewer can imagine how it would sound.)
How many reviewers go into great depths as to the design, construction and when possible, the actual employees who build it, along with their philosophy and background?
(This requires more than just rewording ad copy that anyone can suss out since most products reviews hit the world around the same time.)
When a product actually doesn't make the grade, how many reviewers are willing to say so?
Oh yeah, 6moons.
By the way, the OPs criteria for a need for details goes contrary to the admonition of not bordering on paranoia or clinical. How one can do one without the other at least overlapping?
Everyone has an axe to grind so it's going to be interesting, to say the least, to read what unfolds.
All the best,
Nonoise
