Basically outside of this forum, 90% of audio "reviewers" have no idea what the hell they're talking about.
Back when it first dawned on me that now I had left home I needed something to play my records on, and it was not simple if I wanted something good, ALL the magazines were technical (it was 1968 and in the UK).
Every review was done by somebody who understood reasonably well how it worked and had the knowledge and equipment to test it up to contemporary standards.
The "subjective" bit was largely confined to speakers and comments on noise (hiss and hum) or audible wow and flutter on record players and tape recorders.
In the late 1970s Jean Hiraga kicked off the subjective reviewing phase in "l'Audiophile" in France and it was downhill from there on.
Absolute bollox based on zero knowledge or understanding slowly crept in and became almost all pervasive worldwide.
Personally I am not interested in any review which does not have measurements to back it up, unless it usefully summarises functionality.
Speaker listening impressions from experienced listeners I find informative but only with some measurements to go with it.
