Yup, sodium overdose. You never know what shenanigans are going on behind the scenes, or how close the reviewer really is to the manufacturer. Some manufacturers, for instance, will pay some reviewers for a review, and I'm not sure that this is always disclosed up front.
Publications and websites for equipment reviews
I stopped reading audio mags years ago . . . what are the current go-to sites for equipment reviews, especially on mid- to hi-fi gear? I can think of
Stereophile
The Absolute Sound
What Hifi
C-Net
Others? Thanks in advance. Comments on the credibility of publications are welcome, but it would be great if the whole discussion didn't devolve into poo-flinging!

Each and every one should be read as primarily for flavour of the month entertainment purposes. In over 30 years of reading journalist reviews I can hardly remember one that came across as totally honest. It just doesn’t happen. So you always have to read between the lines. Always pay attention to any words of criticism however faint they may be. I’d much rather trust the words of an owner/user - especially one that wasn’t trying to sell me something. * some online headphone reviewers like metal571 and Z Reviews tend to not hold back so much! |
