Lessloss Reference review?


A review on 6moons just came out and the latest, greatest revision by Lessloss got analyzed. What does the article really say? All I got is that 2K cord is better than a $1 cord? Is it just me but some of these reviews are pretty much useless?

It's not just you, reviews ARE worthless. Though I suppose they are not totally useless, they can provide some photos or specifications that may not be available otherwise. They are only worthless when it comes to wasting time reading and trying to decipher any honest sonic impressions. Reviews are more like infomercials.

This goes all the way back to the days of Julian Hirsch in Stereo Review "Of all the speakers that I have ever auditioned, these XYZ speakers are certainly one of them.". LOL! That's hard-hitting reporting right there!!
Well I haven't read the review, but it does not sound as if it was a glowing review. There are only two categories of reviews, glowing rave reviews, and not glowing rave reviews.

You can take from this whether the reviewer really thinks the subject of the review is great or so-so. Finding negative reviews is not so easy in these days of high finance.
Alright, I read the review, yeah it was pretty poorly written. I couldn't help but notice that the two reviewers were the same ones that wrote about the original LessLoss cord when it came out in November of 2008 (Marja & Henk). I haven't read more of their stuff, but I'll just assume that they are poor reviewers. They spend most of their time discussing technology, and very, very little time discussing actual sonic characteristics.

Perhaps people who can not describe what they are hearing should not be reviewers....just a thought.
