Audio reviewing is more of a hobby, reviewers have to have other jobs

"If a person is outstanding in their field, they won't need the rest of us to subsidize their living expenses."

No one gets rich reviewing recordings or audio equipment, those that have great paying main jobs are the ones that are wealthy. I am disabled and can no longer work a regular job, so reviewer is pretty much all I do and because I am disabled it takes me 10 times longer to write an article than it did just two years ago.

I got into reviewing as I seem a niche no one else was filling and I feel I have important things to say that others didn't say or were afraid to. It was mostly recording engineers, audio designers and others in the field that were telling the truth about how poor 16/44.1kHz PCM was and almost no reviewers and I still believe it is important to get out the word that music is much, much, much better than what is piped through low resolution 16/44.1kHz PCM. I report EXACTLY what I hear which offends some people, my mission is not to be liked but to promote well recorded analog, and the high resolution digital formats the best I can.
