I agree with the FR post although those are usually best done in dead silence to avoid outside influence which is hardly possible in show situation. And while not unheard of to form a reliable opinion in 5 minutes, I generally want to live with a product for several days to feel that I have done it justice. If I am going to make a negative comment, I want to be sure nothing else is involved in the issue and it truly belongs to the device in question. As an example, if I were to get a bad pairing of DAP to IEM at a show, it might cause me to artificially lower the score of the IEM (especially if using My personal DAP since we tend to think we know its tendencies and it couldn't be a problem with it, so must be this new IEM).
Sure, I agree.
I’m not saying it’s ideal, nor saying that’s what he does with all of the gear in his lists. But that’s how he’s gaining access to some of it (how much you’ll have to find out from him directly). He’s very respected and knows his stuff, so I’m sure he’s aware of the issue/danger.
