No A+ for preamps, amps or integrates, but there are A+ for digital processors

Hi, I love their annual report. I use it to buy all my stereo stuff. If they like it and I can afford it I buy it. I got my KEF LS50's and Outlaw HD FM receiver because they said they were good bang for the buck. Regards.
Roger Modjeski never once advertised in Stereophile, yet his RM-200 amplifier has been in the Class A Tube category for twenty years (it’s Fremer’s reference "affordable" tube amp).
As too were the Quicksilver Monoblock's of Sam Tellig’s

Cheers George
Listening  to my QS Mid Monos right now.....have to be one of the best bang for the buck amps out there....


Just to add to the Audio measurement institutions above that I mentioned, is this an extremely thorough one call "Miller Audio Research" (AVTech tab) That do them for HiFi News and HiFi Choice and a few others
