Discuss a review. Provide constructive feedback. Talk to the industry.

I liked that part.

When I read JA saying something like that, I take it to mean that that amp so differs from what other excellent amps measure like, and what crap amps measure like, that these measurements don't fit what he usually sees in associatiion with perceived "good performance."

I think he's merely stating a paradox, not pandering to meter thumpers.

His conclusion should make us, as readers, really ponder how we'd match this amp up with other components before we run out and toss money at it. Not that we shouldn't buy one if we like it, he's just pointing out idiosyncracies that we should should be aware of. As a consumer, that was almost a perfect review. Listening is the bulk of the review, but possible issues exist which may affect your experience at home.

Trying to match measurements with listening is a fascinating endeavor, and JA comes across as wholey (spelling?) sincere when he can't find a reasonable correlation. Especially correlations that are usually present!
