Stereophile's 2021 products of the year

Or do do you believe in absolutes?

I would never buy an amp that measures like ****, and yet a reviewer says it sounds fantastic.
I need an amp to measure well for the purpose I intend to use it for, and if the reviewer say it sounds good driving similar speakers to mine as well that's a bonus.

Like I said

You need to understand the measurements also, that way you can form a judgement if the reviewer is full of it or not.
If you don't understand the measurements as well your just p*****g into the wind.

Amplifying?

that measures like ****

Thank you for the precise definition. All is now very clear.

Amplifying?

Yes, and all the other parameters an amp has to measure well for, and to get the best from speakers and their unique individual different loadings.
