++++StereoPhile Class A components+++++


Any of you guys who have listened to more components than I have, or maybe anyone who has been in the industry: I see a lot of posts mentioning "stereophile class A " etc, so I assume this recommendation carries a lot of weight. (After purchasing my Audio PHysic Virgo II's, I saw that they were class A in stereophile, so I felt like I agreed with what they were saying.) Are the reviews completely independent? With the vast array of components out there, can they really cover all of them? Do you guys really agree with the class A and B thing? Thanks for the perspective....Mark

KR... I actually have something nice to say... Man must
be Stereophile bash month here or something. Looks like a tough gig being a professional reviewer :-)

Anyway about a year ago I was looking for some new amplification and came across one of your reviews while
researching a specific product. Well to make a long story
short every review about this product was very favorable
and I did buy the product. And no guys its not a MF product.

After owning the amp for a year now and seeing this thread I went back and read your review again. I have to tell you It was/is dead nuts on. It is "exactly" what you said it is. Your review was the most cautiously "subjective" out of a alot of really "glowing" reviews about the product but I think you really nailed it.

So it turns out the product is a "class A" and I couldn't
be happier with it.. And have no plans of changing it.
Oh and I also have some speakers that made the list that sound pretty awesome too :-) but thats another story.

So even though I didn't base my buying decisions on the rankings.. I have to agree with the rankings in my case.

Anyway thanks for steering me in the right direction. I
think im one of the happiest people here... and thats exactly what this whole thing is supposed to be about isnt it?

KAL...Do reviewers have body doubles like Saddam? So when they have their top secret meetings with the product manufactures the AIA (Audio Intelligance agency) doesnt know if its the real reviewer or not? HUMM?
