Trust is way too strong a word, so I understand the consensus opinion stated herein that opinions stated in reviews are worthless. I would rather think that reviews should be factually accurate and the opinions expressed plausible. As a result I find reviews that provide a full description of the front/rear panels, tech measurements and plenty of detailed pictures to be very useful. To have a seasoned listener who has heard a vast number of components in various situations say that a product sounds very good or better does carry some weight. A well expressed and plausible opinion about the sound quality is interesting.
