Positive Feedback

About this resource

Positive Feedback describes itself as a creative community of writers and contributors exploring high-end audio. Its coverage extends from live music and recording through analogue and digital media to playback systems and listening rooms. The site includes equipment and music reviews, commentary, industry news and DIY interests, rather than operating only as a laboratory-testing publication. ^{[1] [3]}

Its editorial philosophy treats an equipment review as a contextual listening report, not a universal judgement independent of system and reviewer preferences. Reviewers are encouraged to work with familiar reference systems and disclose long-term loans. Commercially involved contributors may participate with disclosure statements; the publication explicitly distinguishes its educational and entertainment mission from acting as a consumer watchdog. ^[1]

The philosophy also says that equipment which does not suit a reviewer’s system may be returned without a published review, an important qualification when interpreting coverage. For finding material, the FAQ describes category-based exploration reaching back to June 2002, and the site provides a table of contents and archive. Articles include moderated reader comments and print-friendly views, making full reviews and their system context more useful entry points than isolated award quotations. ^{[1] [2]}
