I get a kick out of Reichman. I think he's a nice balance to the technical review sites.
A few months ago I subscribed to the dvd's.
He has an assignment competition on each dvd where the prize is a free one year subscription renewal.
On a whim, I submitted this photo for the assignment theme of "cold".

Reichman's comment on the CD was "Pleasant to look at, but nothing special going on." Hard to argue with that.
See you later, gs

Personally, I do find Reichmann a bit pompous on his web page, but I've met him a few times and he seems much less so in person. I don't think he's biased at all: He's *opinionated*, and there's a big difference. He likes what he likes and isn't afraid to say so.
