The "how many reviews it got" rule


This is my rule of thump when I purchase components online
without having heard them first.  If a component received a
lot of reviews, chances are the component is very good.
I mean the component has to be good to attract a lot of
reviewers. Most reviewers probably wouldn’t
bother to review something he doesn’t like in the first place.

It is a business.  The reviews are for information purposes only.  They are not written to say this one is better than that one.  They compare what the reviewer hears in their system, not yours.  Use them as a guide.  Once you read a review, go hear that component at a dealer to see if you hear what the reviewer is writing about.  If you hear what the reviewer comments on, then you can understand the reviewer and how they hear sound.  Also, small companies and start up companies do not get reviews, understand why?

Happy Listening.
