The Voodoo You Do!
Tom hit the head on the nail with Stereophile. The reviews are mega priced gear or inexpensive speakers. I lost interest even at 10$ a year. Audiokarma has unbiased reviews of equipment. All you have to do is post and wait for replies.
If you belong to the Stereophile forum you can dialogue with those reviewers as well. I've had conversations on forums and through PM's with quite a few well read reviewers. I think most of them enjoy having conversations with folks who simply want to pick their brain or learn where the reviewer is coming from. I find that if I come from a respectful place I can talk to them about pretty much anything and the respect is returned.
I've only had one bad experience with a reviewer and that was my own damn fault for needlessly and disrespectfully calling him out. Turns out he was right and I was wrong. Still need to apologize to him...if you are out there Paul Seydor...you were dead right about the NAD C326BEE.:thmbsp:
