If you don't like them why are you reading them?


Component reviews are typically a mix of fact -- how many
inputs/outputs does the device have, what formats does it play,
what materials and parts were used in its construction, how is the
remote laid out , how does it differ from previous or competing
models in terms of features , etc -- and possibly spurious
subjective impression about the sound . Guess which part I
find most valuable.


I also read them for the pure entertainement value. I find amusing how
many different ways someone can describe the "sound" of a cable.
