Thanks mcbeddall.
Without coming across as a slightly unhinged conspiracy theorist, does that mean the tone creator could rate their own creation and in the absence of anyone else honestly rating it, they can convince us that their tone is immaculate, even though my ears tell me otherwise? I try my best to judge the tones as I find them but I know those alluring stars will always distort my view slightly. If I take a 5 star tone for a spin and it sounds terrible, rather than dismiss it completely, I find myself hypnotised by those stars and hopelessly drawn back to it ad infinitum. Does anyone else feel to be utterly at the mercy of the stars?
