Post Subject: A fart during a hurricane ...Posted by Romy the Cat on: 10/25/2018
I do not particularly see a problem with 17K cartridge. I don’t read a full review, scan a few paragraphs and did not find it interesting for me. The purpose of this writing, like most of the writing from those type of people, is to convince a reader in something.  I do not read the “delegation of convincing type reviews” for years, I liters want to puke when I made an efforts to read them. I am attracted to a very different type of writing about audio, when a person juts sharing his observation on a subject with no idiotic need to convince a reader in anything. There are some audio sites that give to me this pleasure and to the best of my knowledge none of the side runners are a part of the industry establishment. 
 
Two aspects I would like to bring in context of the review above.  
 
First is that the guys has looks like a large collection of crappy music, which very much portrays his listening habits and musical preferences. I do not deny to these people a rights to enjoy whatever crap music they listen but I absolutely deny them right to express any more of less valuable opinions about audio reproduction if it is non-classical music repertoire. 
 
Second, the look at his listening room make me to feel very unfortunate about this guy. This is a typical “sales” room when equipment set to be rotated not to be “lived with”. The reciting of excessive amount of duplicate equipment do not work for me. I was there myself and I know that a man does not need it if he does not pay his mortgage by rotating audio and if he has a seasoned approach to audio hobby.

So, the review is in my view just transitional event: some kind of garbage music collector got a new cartridge that was given to him to make him to love it. So, the ceremony worked, the cartridge company wrote out a lost but hope to recover it by new orders, the online publication printed a “space of wordings”, the audio reviewer got his “stripes” and everybody move forward.  No event. A fart during a hurricane is you ask me…
