That is correct.>But he recently seemed to say that if an amplifier measures badly but
>sounds good then he'd recommend it.You are confusing what I say as an individual with what I do as the editor
of a magazine that publishes reviews by several different writers. I may
not feel that an amplifier measures well but if one of my team recommends
that amplifier on the basis of his careful and prolonged auditioning, the
amplifier is recommended by the magazine. But if you read our "Recommended
Components" listings you will see that such recommendations are always
tempered by the inclusion of the measured shortcomings.
