That is correct, with the exception I occasionally make when a product
reviewed in a regular column appears to have issues that require further
investigation.
>However, all are eligible for Recommended regardless.
That is also correct, as a review in one of Stereophile's regular columns
is equivalent to a full review both in other magazines and in Stereophile
before I implemented the policy of including measurements in our full
reviews a quarter century ago.

I see your Four Goals as honorable and worthwhile.
Do you really feel as far away from goal #4 as ever? Do you envision some day publishing extended thoughts on that?

> Do you really feel as far away from goal #4 as ever?
You are referring to what I wrote in the essay linked below: "build up a
measurement database that will eventually reveal correlations between
what is heard and what is measured."
> Do you envision some day publishing extended thoughts on that?
There are some broad correlations, yes, but nothing that I feel confident
enough to publish. But from my 2011 Richard Heyser Memorial lecture to
the Audio Engineering Society, said only half tongue-in-cheek: "if you
want to make and play back recordings that people will prefer, you use
spaced omni mikes to capture the sound at at least 176.4kHz, and play it
back through an NOS DAC, a zero- or low-negative-feedback amplifier with
very low static distortion below 1W and primarily second-harmonic
distortion at higher powers, driving large panel speakers via exotic cables."

Yes, that's the one I was referring to.
That's some good advice..and as an Apogee owner I am inclined to agree.
Thanks - Good luck and Godspeed in the pursuit.
