Yep. I do a bit of objective work, of course, but the bottom
line easily visible in all of my product reviews is
subjectivism.

No. Rather, unlike glassy-eyed, puffed-up tweakos whose
worlds revolve around their exotic audio systems, I consider
an audio system as a means to an end, and do not become
enamored of exotic and overkill products that do nothing
more than suck money out of wallets.

No doubt.

One need only spend a bit of time here to see the proof put

Actually, those with limited intellect probably do believe
that people with insight claim to be able to read minds.
Insight is something fools have problems understanding.

Well, I do understand that the high-end contingent is mostly
(not entirely, but mostly) populated by freaks. I understand
this hobby well enough to realize just how goofy and
psychologically inadequate some of the participants happen
to be.
