    Or like this cheapo GLi Pro receiver, which doesn't have a fan -- it has an Auto Aptitude Releaser!

    Wow, that's fancy. My amp doesn't have a fan, let alone an Auto Aptitude Releaser. I should trade it in.

    But I don't want to release my Audio Aptitude! My audio needs all the aptitude it can get, seriously.

    It seems that hi-fi magazines continue in their efforts to try and come up with the biggest and the best of complete crap in their reviews. Enjoy this little nugget extracted from the February 2020 issue of 'Hi-Fi Choice' from a review of an Ecosse mains cable.

    'I'm immediately aware of an improvement in sound quality...I have a sense that more players have joined the orchestra and there is a huge improvement in the imaging and clarity of each instrument.'

    That's some cable. Just make sure you have enough space in your room when playing large symphonic works!

    I'm surprised he stopped short of saying it sounds like the players are extra intense in their playing as if they just received a big raise!

    Referring to words and language for describing wines, famous wine writer Hugh Johnson said something like "It's a game many play that few play well." I think it applies here as well.

    Unfortunately, because of the crowding, they are all dead now and the sound is vacant.

    I liked the one where the reviewer called the amp an excellent piece of gear after he put the fire out. :unhunh:

    They used to send me their catalogs. Their stuff looked like it was designed by a suicide squad and built by a mad as a hatter arsonist/fire bug.

    To me this is the best reviewer of anything :)




    The review is vastly more entertaining than the movie.

    I remember reading a review of Direct Metal Mastered Vinyl Lps (DMM).
    Of course it blew me away when he decscribed the records as having a “metallic” sound to them!

    Well, if it was an audiophile reviewer he was probably listening to a DMM LP of triangle solos.

    Might’ve been. I hear triangles do a mean “Harlem Nocturne “.

    That looks so Rent-A-Center. Their command of English on this one is up there with Technical Pro.

    Was he plucked from the stable of Harlequin romance novels writers?

    So it sounded faster and richer.

    I should invent an audiophile decoder ring!
