In Reply to: Not taking notes ? posted by mkuller on January 7, 2005 at 11:44:19:
I do take notes, I just do not use them to compare the sound of a current unit to one reviewed in the past.I could not tell you if a "lingering sonic signature" is due to coincidence, an actual human ability or some trick the mind plays on us. I am intrigued by your experience, and am curious as to what causes it. But I am not able to conclude that it is something reliable enough to pass on as testimony to my readers.
This business of "emotional involvement" is poppycock. The reviewer much less the reader, has no way of telling how much of an increase or decrease in "emotional involvement" is due to the component and how much is in the reviewer's mind. Maybe cars should be rated on "the feeling of flying" instead of clocking acceleration or top speed. I think this nonsense of "emotional involvement" is very much a lisence used by some reviewers to write prose instead of having to do painstaking work and give the reader more reliable findings.
