What's the point of reviewing?

I've become obsessed with the quest to achieve 2 channel audio nirvana. I own many puzzle pieces and I've determined in my acoustic space some pieces fit perfectly

op

you should list your system and share photos of it in the listening room

to me magico’s are the modern day watt puppy 3/2

technical tour de force that unfortunately misses the boat in delivering enduring listening pleasure

stay on em rox

somebody has to push for a proper quality standard for the discourse around here, i am glad you are helping do this! 😁👍

the generalized question, in this day and age of information overload and the highly questionable veracity of much of said information, is how does one sort through what is available to draw salient, accurate, reliable conclusions upon which to act?

this question/issue applies in spades in this case of audio equipment reviews and online discussions... and lessons learned should apply profitably to all major decisions where info gathering is necessary

there is way more to it than that
