No More Fake Reviews - So Who’s Gonna Tell Us What To Buy?


Very interesting and with a fairly profound impact on our audiophile community:

Some strong language in the ruling. How are some of our YouTubers going to be able to sustain their channels without gifted products?

Very true ,,I spoke to a friend in Canada who personally had met  two of these reviewers and yes they  have received Free components and speakers .with much more expensive products up to 65% off with no shipping or taxes . Shocking but true . I assume this too pertains to TAS and Stereophile , as well as online magazines on Audiogon we get much more realistic  honest opinions of actual gear .fortunately for me I am semi retired and get to hear a lot of gear and go to many group comparisons  which is like going to a Audio show  but in a much more relaxed setting.
