音響雜誌的評論公式

前天在百貨街邊走路邊上網，不經意看到 DIYHiFi 上的文章，害我不小心在人群裡失聲狂笑。這是網兄 gmarsh 歸納出來的音響雜誌評論寫作公式，十分中肯：

• Introducing [product] from [company]
• Bunch of pictures of [product]
• Blurb about [company], describing that because they're located at [location] (farm country, near the ocean, whatever) they've obviously got a passion for good audio design or something like that.
• Blurb about and how [company] put their heart and soul into [product]
• Description of [pseudo-technology] that [product] introduces
• Q/A with [company person] who says a bunch of stuff about [pseudo-technology] but doesn't clarify anything
• A listening test that sounds like someone describing an acid trip. The soundstage was so broad, it first nibbled on my toes, then enveloped me and gave me a hug!
• Final commentary giving a glowing review.

這麼多年來，看過幾百本音響雜誌，實在不得不承認，幾乎所有的評論都是按照這種公式寫出來的，尤其是充滿 "pseudo technology" ，中外皆然！
