A fart during a hurricane ...

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…
