I thought I’d start a service thread for HiFi reviewers. The idea is that ASR members could add their favourite quotes and tropes from HiFi reviewers over the length and breadth of teh interwebs. Any responses here should have a link to the original review and a description of the equipment being auditioned. This might provide some amusement for other members and allow reviewers taking advantage of the service, an understanding of who they are plagiarizing. Don’t be concerned about doubling up on tropes and devices, what is desirable is a repository of flowery descriptions and pseudoscience all the better to wow the audiophools. I think ASR is regarded as a hostile place for the dedicated HiFi reviewer so this is my way of softening our reputation in a spirit of generosity and détente.
Let me kick off with one of my favourite reviewers, Dawid Grzyb discovering the powerful benefits of the “Carbide Base Micro”. A glorified drink coaster to put under your horrifically vibration prone solid state electronics.
“In my system the Statement on its own short legs produced slower darker sound with thicker outlines and clearly shakier bass, as if someone took some of its happiness and liveliness away. I just hadn’t mapped this any earlier. The Base Micros contributed with the extra acceleration, radiance, imaging specificity and somewhat leaner MO particularly sensible on vocal jobs. To my ears these sonic reworks were the clear upgrades more than anything else, although on some tracks I appreciated the appeal of thicker voices more. This however didn’t factor as much as the plainly obvious change with/out Carbide footers under the Statement. I didn’t expect any meaningful sonic shifts let alone this profound, yet they were.”

As far as tropes go, I’ll reiterate my “non audiophile friend” one from another post. This for the “Audio Revive RHR-21 Acoustic Resolution Exciter” room conditioning devices.
“Then a non-audiophile friend stopped by to visit. He spotted the RHR-21s while we were chatting and listening to music, while enjoying a spot of Macallan 12, and asked me about them. I told him that they were passive devices that influenced the acoustic properties of the room. I walked over to pick up the RHR-21s from their positions, and walked back to hand them to him for a look-see when I heard him utter a "Whoa!" He heard a significant change in the room's sound as I walked across it with the RHR-21s in hand. That took me by surprise. “
