[QUOTE="alphabet, post: 13453, member: 11"] I agree that it is a tough situation to be in. I can tell someone what I think of their purchase, without serious repercussions(except that the person may want to donner me ;) ), but in the case of a reviewer you have to be a lot more subtle. Maybe we have to approach reviews(professional and owner-based) the same way you have to approach employment references and rather look what is not mentioned. As mentioned even owner-based reviews can be useful, but not if the review is done within the first year of buying the equipment as the hype factor plays a big role. If I had to do a review on my setup(and equipment I previously owned), I would be able to list all the positives as well as negatives without degrading any component, but I have lived with it for about three years.
