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?

Reviewers have been getting free gear and accommodation pricing forever.  I don't expect that to change at all.   

Reviews make good bathroom reading.... If I can't see it and hear it in person I am generally not interested.  Lack of in home demo or decent return policy is usually a deal breaker for me.  

I actually prefer reading about how great something is that I just bought NOT based on a review but by hands on,  real world listening .
