Can you point me to some of these reviewers who do similar reviews without the bias?
I found quite a few just by searching on YouTube and if you fancy another forum, there's some on Head-Fi too so I'm told.
Re reviewers - I guess everyone has their own style. I haven't really been paying attention much last couple of years but from what I can see now, the world is a wash with audio reviewers - some trying to stand out too much it seems - and some will be better than others. The way I see it though, these guys are all good for research but you really need to try these units for yourself - it what's you like that counts. These guys are just guidlines so it's not good getting to angsty about them.
