Part of my routine is tearing out audio magazines articles and reviews of audio equipment of interest and saving them in binders creating a library of reference material. When going through copies of Hi-Fi + Plus I noticed that the majority of the reviews and editorials were once again by one reviewer, Alan Sircom. It is quite different with Stereophile and The Absolute Sound or the webzines where one reviewer may have one review (but have the component/s under evaluation for months) per issue if that. It seems that with Mr. Sircom's duty as a one man show of reviewing, installing components, editorials, letter feedback, email, trade events and other responsibilities do keep this guy busy! If he is like the majority of reviewers he probably has a day job! ;-). It caused me to think that it could dilute the quality of his reviewing. This is not criticism here, only observation.
Anyone (including reviewers) have an opinion on what may constitute a reasonable workload for a reviewer?
