I don't see where Hi-Fi Choice is inconsistent. You give NO examples. They clearly rate the units in the blind test in order of preference. Neither Stereophile nor TAS do this. As for your comment that the market has produced a result where 95% of the products being tested are very good or better is simply laughable. Here I agree 100% with Art Dudley who has been extremely clear on this point: newer is definitely NOT always, or even mostly, better. I am usually shocked at how inferior the sound produced by highly touted components is, both at audio shows, and at audio stores. Just look at the crap CD sound that was highly touted and very popular! Ditto for ss amps and pre-amps. Musical? Not by a mile!
