Gene at Audioholics is starting to stretch towards audiophoolry land. I am not saying he is there yet at all, but the camel nose just snuck under the tent. They have a very large review/giant sales pitch of Gaia Isolators for speakers. First they are very expensive. Second, the long "review" is a huge sales pitch for Gaia. Third, no testing was done to show any audibility other than a sighted listening test. YOU GUESSED IT. The sighted test mirrored the subjectivists lexicon. I think they left out microdetail and quantum energies but hit quite a few others. I like Audioholics a lot and have never seen an advertisement disguised as a review before on their site. Needless to say I am shocked by this. I wanted to bring this up as it just misses the mark by a wide margin.
Now, missing the mark once in 10 years, is not a big deal. But it does mean that we need to really scrutinize for awhile what is happening at that great site. I leave you all to determine what you think of it. I of course have severe reactions and projectile vomiting whenever I get near subjectivism in audio.
