It would be interesting to know which Class A Stereophile products were inferior to cheaper equipment. I am not doubting Mr. Collins'
experience, but I hope he agrees with what is implied by some of the other postings: that audio reviewing is hardly an exact science and that John Atkinson et.al. repeatedly stress that the listings are an introductory guide, and a stimulus to go out and listen for yourself.(Actually I do wonder why some components stay on the list longer than others, e.g. the CAT ultimate preamplifier. Ain't complaining--I owned the CAT for several happy years, only replacing it with the CJ Act II for the sake of the remote control.)

The CAT stays on the list because it is Robert Deutsch's long-term
reference (he owns a sample), thus can stay familiar with its
sound quality.

Ah hah! So that explains why the CAT preamp stays on the recommended list. And thanks to John Atkinson for his, as always, useful information. Amazing with his schedule how he finds time to respond to postings on the Asylum, some of them fairly outrageous, and always with good sense and good humor.
So there is nothing collegial about the list, it's merely a bunch of pages on which you list whatever floats the boat of any individual writer.
