?... like Michael Fremer's reviews of digital players and cables that when tested were so bad as to fail the ancient and incredibly generous DIN 45 500 standard ?
Or Robert Harley who won his sinecure at SP by writing an essay ?
Or the audio rag reviewers that Sean Olive at JBL tested
The reviewers’ (poor) performance is somewhat of a surprise given that they are all paid to audition and review products for various audiophile magazines. In terms of listening performance, they are about equal to the marketing and sales people, who are well below the performance of the audio retailers and trained listeners
Yeah I trust these guys' opinions
BTW You still need to explain why Benjamin and Gannon are so far off-beam, despite their tests being very similar in findings to Manson's 1974 (BBC) thresholds at about 35ns...
