" Beyond reporting the fact of the failure (which they don't have to do, BTW), they have no basis to draw global conclusions from the reliability of one sample."I agree about the (lack of) statistical reliability from one sample but it is not true that we do not have to report a failure. Much to the annoyance of several manufacturers, it is Stereophiles policy that reviewers report all failures of equipment submitting, even if the unit is replaced by a fully-functioning sample. The serial numbers of both units is also reported.
