In Reply to: A different approach..... posted by Bill the K on March 9, 2007 at 18:30:22:
Hi Bill!I have to respectfully disagree with you - there are too many unknown factors when the reviewer is listening to a full system in a room which they don't know all that well.
I actually think that the current approach is not bad (each reviewer has a room which they know well, and a hopefully large selection of varied equipment to combine each tested component with).
I would have to say that two things must be given attention to:
1. It is best if reviewers have a wide variety of high-quality equipment.
2. It is best if equipment is routinely checked to make sure that it is still up to spec. This is maybe somewhat similar to the system that many equipment manufacturers use - they routinely send their test equipment for examination and recalibration, to make sure that it provides valid information.In some magazines worldwide, they choose to put all of the reviewers' reference equipment in a single facility, in order to make sure that the variety of gear available is very high. I don't know whether this is practical in a country like USA, though, where some reviewers of a single publication live far away from each other.
Best,
