Thanks for the link, Rick. Enjoyed it and passed it on to some of my audio-neurotic friends.

Regards,

Wow, what a great article. I think that pretty much sums up what I think is wrong with the way a lot of people look at audio. I agree with Srajan and will definately be linking this the next time I have a disagreement with one of the 'scientists' as it perfectly explains my point of view.

Good find Rick!

I think the article is more about personal integrity and respect for the fellow man than a discussion on Hi-Fi.

I wonder if he likes his job as audio reviewer, really...

"Trust Your Own Ears" is ALL about music and gear reviews !

Read some on site reviews and then tell me he does not like being an audio reviewer.Talk about a cool job !

Oh yeah.They also do some of the best product photography out there and being no better than geeks with cool toys actually open up everything to show the **** to us electronic perverts who need to see audio gear undressed and nekked

It's just that I got an impression he had an urge to excuse him self for his impressions of audio gear.

"Still, I imagine they feel equally ill at ease over being approached as the priest, therapist, investment advisor and guru some readers seem to insist is the only proper way to interact with reviewers."

I found that strange since that is what reviewers do; having personal opinions, and most people tend to turn to persons with experience, training or both for advice, or at least an opinion, in matters they them selves do not feel they are familiar with.

If I would like to buy something for the wall with a late 19th century impressionistic motive, I'd go to my friend who's crazy about that art period and ask: I'd like something which would make me feel warm a wintery day, where would you suggest me to start?

Maybe it's just me, only reading English words in that article and not understanding the undertones, nuances, cultural background or what ever.
