As you can see in recent threads see I'm not a subscriber to the view
that everything that needs to be known about audio is known, on the
other hand when I read a review that calls an amp an "urgent and frisky
sounding musical tool" (Decembers Hi-Fi World) I can't help chuckling
and wondering who the 'tool' really is.


My favourite from many years ago was an amplifier review that said the amp
was 'chocolate sounding' and 'made the singers sound like they were raised
up above the ground'. The problem with such descriptions is that I have no
idea how they would relate to anyone else than the reviewer, using any
other system, room, etc.

Slainte,

Jim
