Of course I use the Recommendations to help narrow down choices but that's based mostly on features and price. Reviewer comments on SQ are pretty low on my list for several reasons: Hardly ANY product gets a poor review. The best reviews are for those products that are heavily advertised in the rag. And the reviewers often cop out by rating products proportional to price. Do all $20,000 DACs sound better than $5000 DACs?
The only way to not "blindly purchase" [with or without a magazine review] is to audition. One way to lower the risk when "blindly purchasing" is to buy used ;-) I've bought and sold a LOT of used gear over the years. And no, not because I'm dissatisfied. I enjoy trying different equipment and forming my own opinions w/o relying on the rags.
