Everyone (Reviewer) has his own kind of way to stay in this business. Most buy their stuff at reviewers price from manufacturer, some start with their own gear and think about upgrades and how it can be done ( is a "recommendation " review better for my price than "it's bullshit, but I like it and buy it.."), some get loaners from manufacturers, some are corrupt, some want support for their private websites, some pay the ads with hardware....anyway.... even when HP writes about loosing the soul of music, when you see his systems you will ask yourself automatically: Did he buy that stuff???
I don't think so. HP's music taste is good, no doubt, but also his flavor for super expensive components.
When I strip all that down, we come to the Emperor with his new clothes.... there is no real independence. So, at the end of the day: forget it. |
