Reviews.....

There is no such thing. We are all biased, you and I included. Even worse, we have no conscious cognizance of our subconscious biases ;-).
Reviews are mainly an individuals experience with the DUT. If that is supplemented with objective data aka measurements, better yet. At least that way there is some form of reference to compare the subjective description to. Huge caveat being comprehension of said data and correlation to binaural perception in general. YMMV

AJ may I reuse this statement? Bravo!!

‘We have no conscious cognizance of our subconscious biases.’
 
I have been a fan of Robert Harley for many years and have purchased gear he enthusiastically recommended. Faint praise is not enough. Once I established that his sonic tastes were similar to mine, I trusted him and purchased based on those reviews. The only times I have been disappointed were when the gear was not reviewed by him or I became dissatisfied with something like customer support which was not part of his review.

I'm thinking its a conspiracy. JA/Stereophile may have edited the NAD M50.2 review date back to 2017 since Google is saying the Aurender ACS10 was released in 2019 :oops:


That may not be the review I read back then, I thought it was. I couldn't find another. I know what I read. It was along time back I'm not sure even which unit the review is for, I couldn't find a review of the ACS10 by JA. This reminds me of an episode of Black Mirror I recently saw. No conspiracy my perception of what I read sent me down a rabbit hole for sure.
