Some times they go a bit over the top with one review. Do not crucify them for that.
No they outright LIE and do it often.
Now! Imagine a magazine that would only speak, the plain truth about everything. It would not go far.
Yes it would but then where's the money in telling the truth hmmmmm?
Peter Eczel did quite well with The Audio Critic for years. His only problem was getting the magazine out on time and old age making the business slowly fade. He told the truth and caught all sorts of flack for doing so but he didn't care.
Now all we have are half truths and bs to wade through.

Each to their own, one of my friends frets whether his digital playback might have a few bits in several million in error.
Personally, I view reviews as a first handshake, an introduction prior to hearing the equipment, and evaluating it empirically.
I too miss Peter's articles.
He was tragically rare in publishing.
Personally, I envy other's lack of intelligence.
Stupid people always keep it simple.
I have seen many times people acting very stupidly and
they all had at least one thing in common, a belief that
life is only what you can see with your own eyes and nothing
else exists beyond that.
Nowadays, if you look at a typical river in a big city, you can
see it looks very dirty. Go upstream and it becomes better the
more you get closer to the source of it. Cristal clear in the
mountains is how it was meant to be and the rest of it are
human deeds.
The same applies to mankind. In the beginning it was all good
and then something happened.

I always found the belief in a thing you can't see with your own eyes, or otherwise verify to exist, quite stupid.

Much more eloquently put than my explanation mark🙂
Maybe we need a philosophical musings thread.....
DrDyna likes this.
DrDyna likes smoking too, if that is you pictured.
If I relied only on my eyesight and facts modern medicine
and other people's experience tell me, I could make a wrong
conclusion, but I won't.

Not very scientific of you. Are you saying nothing else exists
outside the bandwidth of the eyesight, which is by the way limited?
Roman empire existed and the remains of it are still there to be observed.
Documents from that time speak in favor of it.
Why do you think the same rule would not apply to a "thing" you are not
agreeing with, whatever that may be?

You mean exclamation mark😉

It's actually perfectly scientific, as long as the "otherwise verified to exist" provision is present.

Its looked "Cristal clear" when I was writing it!!😛

British humor old man ?
No a couple of pendants battling it out over spelling, or as the old saying goes
"he who lives in a glass house shouldn't throw stones"

What strikes me is how dreary and repetitive frauds like this are. There's nothing new or creative about it, it's the same sort of scams that have been running in the audio industry for decades. How is this any different than the frauds from people like Peter Belt or Jack Bybee or...?
What high end audio needs to save itself is an actually novel and creative scammer.

This is actually quite easy to test. I do it as a matter of course for any new digital source. 🙄
