Audio reviews: too many analogies, never simple, but most of all, never clear.


How many reviews have you read were it takes at least 2 paragraphs for the the reviewer to actually give 
hint this article is actually audio related or even gives mention to what he or she’s reviewing. Get to the subject matter. Leave out your less than perfect dramatic writing skills and lets start hearing about the actual review. I’d rather hear about comparisons between audio components than analogies between wine and taste related to transparency and how that gives rise to what they are getting ready say. What does wine have to do with audio transparency, nothing! Also they have a tendency to talk more about recordings that I’m sure 99% of the readers of the article have never heard of, or would ever listen to.
And when you looking for some sign of what they actually think of the components they’re reviewing they never give you a straight answer; it’s always something that leaves, at least for myself, asking, well where’s the answer.

@teajay was that sax unamplified or run thru the PA ? Spending time on the road and in the studio, I would only very very rarely use the same microphone....

I do appreciate the structure and thought that goes into your reviews
Doubt the Pulitzer or the “ Noble “ will go to anyone who is unable to construct a cogent and complete sentence, even with the magic Hurricane steering Sharpie. Same thought applies to his followers.
