who has the best recommended product reviews


Who do you trust for published reviews and recommendations in the U.S.? Some reviews and recommendations are for products that are hard to even find in the U.S., others recommend products that can be found, but I am skeptical of their perspective. Anybody out there halfway trustworthy and accurate on their reviews and recommendations?

Our own Terry London (Teajay) calls them how he sees them. Very dedicated audiophile and reviewer.
I enjoy John Atkinson. Good bit of the techie measurement stuff over my head, but he gives reasons for his judgments, and is not afraid to disagree with other reviewers and be (somewhat) critical.

I'm not in the "audio mags suck" camp; they are entertainment, and one datapoint among many. With that understudy, I think they are both fun and helpful, when I'm in the mood.

John, I find Atkinson's measurements very interesting and valuable, as I did with those in Audio Magazine. I compare his test bench results with the subjective reviewer's opinion of the unit being reviewed, to learn what kind of distortion that reviewer likes ;-).
I have become so disenchanted with the mainstream audio press I've stopped all subscriptions a while ago. Almost everything gets a glowing review. Also, think about the hundreds of audio manufacturers there are out there-from source to speaker. Now, think of the same old brands that are featured in the magazines over and over and over again. It's repulsive and an insult to us all. There are so many brands out there that you will NEVER HEAR OF because the mags cover THE SAME NAMES repeatedly. It's a joke. The audio press is doing such a disservice to the community and I won't have any part of it. I'm done.
