Hisoundaudio STUDIO-V Review - Page 53

post #781 of 788

alphaman: While you have a point, Mark2410 is a regular member and not an official reviewer (Head-Fi has no such thing). He is most likely to be writing to members who already know the details of the product. However, you are welcome to review products you have used and write a review you think would be good for people to read. smile.gif

Pros:

  • Good product selection (ie., when compared to plethora of new junk released, mark2410 grabs the real goodies)
  • Good photography

 

Cons:

  • No bulleted intro/summary -- important info like price, main features, dimensions, and manuf. web links should be FIRST -- in bullets -- and later expanded in that order later (see 1, 2 below)
  • Too long (see 1, 2 below)
  • Not written/stylized for the web (web folks don't read long paras, they scan) -- i.e., layout not ideal (see 1, 2 below)
  • No description of technical guts (topology, DAC chips, opamps, decoder used)
  • No internal photos of products

The Head Fi community have most certainly moved in a variety of directions over the past few years. Progress I assume. Not that I feel that I have anything to offer or the enhanced wisdom and I'll be Frank or whoever you want me to be, but this post is actually quite funny, me thinks.. Maybe, I just don't get it and it is time to for me to retire from this place..

 

mark2410's review's are IMO fine and I pick out what I need to know and adjust along the way. He puts in a huge effort and I for one appreciate this..

Are you serious alphaman? Or just trolling? The fact that he took his time to do this review and shared his experience with everyone is a wonderful thing. Heck you were asking for advice on DAPs and I pointed you here. It makes me wonder if you are really even interested in purchasing a product rather than critiquing/trolling people.... As Currawong mentioned in a nice way. If you feel you can do better then by all means we'd love to hear your piece ;).

That and I always fail to understand the fascination of parts selection and topology in portable players by lay people. Mark is reviewing a result and it's really all that matters. An OpAmp or DAC chip can sound completely different by application. It's fine to know but it more often biases an opinion than not.

I've seen many types of posts before on here concerning various subjects but to actually waste ones time to critique a reviewers posting style on, of all things, an audio board? Come on dude, don't you think you're being, to put it very mildly, just a little troll like?

Totally agree with the others. Go and join the police force alphaman, there's a world of crime out there to be stopped.

Thread Starter 

well some constructive thoughts.

 

the points you raise,

 

1 well the the no bulleted intro.  well i dont believe in them, if you want a 5 second "yeah its good, no its bad" review its not really where im aiming.  though since i intend at some point to do a compendium i do normally also a "quick review" that i aim for less than 500 words.  all my newer reviews have that on post 2 of the thread.

 

2 yeah they are long.  sometimes too long but the way i see it if you care about the stuff youll want to read it all, if not thats what the quick reviews are for.  if people chose to not read due to its length then thats up to them as i dont see any particular reason to emulate more generalised publications with more cursory information.

 

3 well i agree i dont have the most wonderful writing but again if people want to just scan, its what the quick ones are for.

 

4  no technical specs, mostly because i dont really care about them.  for some products the tech specs are everything, ifm buying an SSD the numbers matter.  if im buying a loaf of bread numbers are meaningless as they in no way quantify the aspect of the product i care about.  still as this is more commonly given in short things i do add it into my quick reviews

 

5 no internals, yeah that would be because im not ripping stuff apart, again because i dont believe it matters and im not ruining things for no reason.
