It would be helpful, Mr. Black, if you give a specific reference
to an instance where this has occurred. I don't think it is that
common in Stereophile, and if, for example, you take Bob Reina's
ongoing series of reviews of inexpenesive speakers or mine of
digital components, all such comparions are to specific "benchmark"
products.
Thanks in advance
