Your post raises some good points, let me just comment on the measurements of the Lector. This is not the first time a Stereophile reviewer has enjoyed the sound of a component while JA has disqualified it because of poor measurements. It seems to happen particularly with Art Dudley. I object to John Atkinson rejecting the component without at least listening to it. If he can't correlate what he hears with the measurements, then he/we must start to question if we are measuring anything worthwhile. Or, if he listened and heard a serious flaw, then perhaps the unit was damaged somehow between the AD review and the measurerments. In my view, this situation cannot stand. Three Stereophile reviewers LOVED the Croft integrated (I myself own the non-phono version of this amplifier) yet JA insists it can't be any good because of the way it measures. I know JA is admired for his equipment measurement protocol and I too respect his expertise in this area, but at some point he needs to ask himself why the reviewers are not hearing the flaws he insists must be there.
