Authors

Every review and buying guide on The Audio Stuff carries one name, and that person did the listening. There is no freelancer pool and no ghost-writing.

How a byline works

  1. One name per piece. Every review and guide carries exactly one writer, the person who did the listening. Nothing is credited to a desk or to the publication itself.
  2. The byline goes somewhere. It links to the writer's page, which lists everything they have reviewed and the verdicts they have given.
  3. The scale is shared, the judgment is not. Every writer scores against the same published scale, so a 7.6 means the same thing whoever signed it. The verdict stays with the person who listened.

How every review is tested is on How we test, and how the publication stays independent is on About.
