In essence, that's what it is, though it does include comments based on
longer-term experience with some products, such as those the reviewer has
purchased or has on formal long-term loan.
To address Mr. Salvatore's point, that there are too many products in the
list, the late J. Gordon Holt once made the same point at a Stereophile
writers' conference. So we went through the then-current list and I asked
Gordon which products we should omit, given his feeling that there were
too many. At the end of that exercise, he had to admit that there weren't
any that deserved to be dropped.
