Well-it's an AUDIO component-hello! Audio components get listened to at some point to be reviewed,cars get driven for review,snow skis get tested out o the slopes etc.,etc, What am I missing here? I love the lazyness of this website!-this line says it all: To test, you'd have to unplug all your gear, power it all back up, and start the track over. In a best case scenario, you couldn't do that in the three to four seconds you'd need so that you could accurately remember what you'd just heard.Um,isn't that how all components get evaluated?-preamps,cd players.amps
