[#21] 好誇張評論........有史以來最好聲...    
from arthur salvatore reviewing the reviewers:


THE (SECRET) RULES OF 'AUDIO REVIEWING'

1. Never anger any protected audio industry entity, such as:

A. An important current, or potential, advertiser; including manufacturers, distributors or retailers, or...

B. Any other audio establishment which has a "personal relationship" with you.

2. Delay acknowledging any serious problems with a "protected" component until you give another rave review to the "updated" model which replaces it and "corrects" the problems.

3. Avoid making any direct comparisons with a "protected" component, but if you have to, follow these "Solutions":

A. Compare the component only to older and/or obsolete models, especially from the same manufacturer. (See Rule #2 above).

B. If Solution "A" is not possible, compare the component to "competitors" costing either MUCH more or MUCH less.

C. If both Solutions "A" or "B" are not possible, "neglect" to mention the actual names and model numbers of the rival components that you compare it to in the review.

D. If Solutions "A", "B" or "C" are all not feasible, and you must compare the model to a current, similarly priced (and "protected") competitor that you must name, then you must be:

1. As ambiguous as possible, and you must also...
2. Never describe any problem as "serious" (See Rule #3.E)
3. Never proclaim one model to be clearly superior to the other(s). In short...
4. Both (or all) of the components must be seen as equally desirable and of similar value.

E. Problems or imperfections that aren't obvious (such as no bass below 40 Hz with small speakers), may be described as "serious" (easy to hear) only when using Solutions "A", "B" or "C".

However, any problems described when using Solution "D" must always be "subtle" and "difficult to hear", or even described as an "advancement" if possible.

4. You must never inform readers if an "audiophile" accessory or tweak is also available in a generic form at a fraction of the price that the "protected" manufacturer is charging (Blue Tac and RFI rings etc.).

5. Any and all "transactions" between you and any of the parties mentioned in Rule #1 must always be kept strictly Confidential. Accordingly...

A. You must never divulge the actual price, if any, you paid to "purchase" your reference components or accessories, or any extra costs you paid, if any, to have those same components updated, modified, repaired, replaced etc.

B. You must never divulge any "gifts", "favors" or "perks" that you received from the "protected" audio entities, or those with whom you have a "personal relationship".

6. You must never mention the actual costs, even at retail prices, of the parts that are used to manufacture the component.

7. Further to Rules #4 & #6, you must never state, or even imply, that any component or accessory is "over-priced".

8. The more corrupt your magazine is, the more you shall proclaim your honesty.

9. Magazines shall never divulge the actual percentage of their advertising revenues to their total revenues.

10. OVERRIDE CLAUSE- Some of the preceding rules (#1, #2 & #3) may be ignored only in the event of either a serious (and apparently indefinite) breach of the "personal relationship" between the audio company and reviewer/magazine, and/or the termination, or non-payment, of their advertising contract.

arthur salvatore is very critical, and he wrote an detailed article analysing the relationships between Advertisement and Hifi magazines. In particular, he criticised Stereophile for increasing the number of good products in their annual reviews after taking ads - oh yes, Stereophile used to be ad-free magazines many years ago, and the annual recommended gears are just a few, and after taking ads, the annual recommendation list have dozens and every piece of gears seem to have merits. Arthur Salvatore suggests that it is due to advertising.

It is a very persuasive article using quantitative analysis method.

The relationship between ads and reviews of gears ais a very paradoxical one. I think HK mags are the extreme case, which lets ads almost totally taking over critical attitudes. Stereophiles, however, are still informative. It may be less critical, subtle and relative in judging gears, but many reviewers still try to write between the lines and express their critical attitudes about mainstream products (marginal products are ignored - a undeniable fact); sometimes after very wordy reports criticisms are found in the middle or the end of the reviews, with one or two paragraphs. Lastly their archive offers some of the best technical discussions about Hifi gears, and every now and then they still do.

Are independent review always the best? Not necessarily, The Audio Critic is an indpendent magazine (http://www.theaudiocritic.com/) Its view of Hifi is however a particular band of 'objectivist' - believing all gears tend to be the same in terms of spec and ignore the fact that some aspects of hifi experience still can't be measured by existing spec.

The relationship ad and reviews are an interesting and complex topic!

Melody 1688本身開聲已然有世界頂級水準,它靚聲到我不敢有作任何改善它的意圖(更換真空管試聲的工作要留給膽痴們去嘗試了),但整體而言,我認為Melody 1688已達到最高的調聲水準,摩機友己沒有什麼改良的餘地。

超水準的靚聲前級十年不得一見.....................它聲音回報率之高也是當今其他前級機種難以企及的。

how much is jpl? and how much is melody? incomparable

mr chan should put in a proviso claiming that melody is the best within its price range. as he did not do so just open up lots of attacks.

he will learn next time but whether you can teach an old dog new tricks is questionable lol

應該馬上定高國寶級, 為國爭光. 外國做到的, 我們做得更好, 超英趕美.

只在小雜誌亂吹. 太浪費.

應上報中聯辦, 國務院跟進. 飛起特區政府.

歷史第一部有世界頂級水準的音.

祖國加油.

以我聽盡天下靚聲前級作準,這是一部可以「聽過世」的膽機傑作。


部部机聽過世, +世部聽唔完, 一屋都係. 對上一百部聽過世的前後係點處理.

外國品牌唔洗做. 執左妧. 咁猛競爭對手.

但好似二手2-3 千港紙?????
