RE: Recent and future amplifier measurements

I would like to introduce the concept of "surrogate end-point."
Over the years, there have been several cholesterol-lowering drugs (fibrates) that have worked very well at lowering cholesterol, but have shown no improvement in clinical outcome, ie heart-attack/survival/whatever. The lowering of the cholesterol number was a surrogate for the true endpoint, which was clinical.
When I read a review where the lab says an amp is grossly ill-designed, yet a respected trained listener gives it a rave, this comes to mind, ie. a recent review of a croft integrated amp.
John A., you must sometimes feel a bit sheepish....
