Hahahaha!!! Pretty much this. He doesn't even listen to his "reviewed" products any more than a short listen - and then only after applying EQ. He couldn't tell you what something sounds like unadulterated. This goes for his followers too - who judge a components SQ and merit without ever having listened to most of what he "reviews". OTOH, they're sort of okay for an introduction to things - but only entry-level stuff.....
