"My 2013 issue of Recommended Components has reviews of 3 phono stages under $200 and another 8 under $1K. There is a recommended cartridge under $100 and 5 more under $500."
What would be more interesting to me is how many under $200 phono stages they had to review to come up with 3 recommendations. Same thing for under $1k cartridges.
Since we get the rcl wouldn't it seem reasonable we should get a Not Recommended Components list AND a Not Reviewed Components list.
Personally I think people interested in affordable gerar should be pleased as punch few inexpensive components get reviewed - but that's just me.

I love the idea of an NRC (Not Recommended Component) list. A not reviewed list might get tiresome as I think it would include 95% + of industry production.
Maybe Sam Tellig should start his own rag. Limit MSRP to $3K with a concentration on sub $1K components.

reelsmith's axiom: Its going to be used equipment when I sell it, so it may as well be used equipment when I buy it.
I don't know if you ever saw the Tuner Information Center. Kind of like that with more shoot-outs and head to head comparisons of lots of equipment not just tuners. Hobbyists not professionals....
