Stereophiles 2021 Recommended Components is now on line.

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

Here's a sample of the Burmester integrated

I'm  a believer in the 10,000 hour rule. Nobody just stepped into this list- unless it was a family business. Sure, some are better at networking and building international business relationships. Some have more marketing prowess and interpersonal savvy. Likely some have more money. 
In the end the list "is what it is" within the given categories. I've owned several products on this list but none currently. We are all individual in our pursuit of audio and if you end up using only items in this list you will do very well.  
It's a nice accomplishment to be recognized at being near the top in any given field. It's also a well known phenomenon that is takes courage take all the competition and scrutiny that come with standing on top. It's common to be critical of success when we don't quite have it ourselves. Congrats to all these people who are making it in this competitive worldwide market.     

Speaking of the RC list: The October 2021 issue of Stereophile---which contains it---has yet to be left in my mailbox. Am I alone in this?

AND, since Roger's passing a few years ago has not been available new.

@bdp24 - There are actually two new RM-200s left from the last production run which was 2017. As I organize the shop they just keep turning up.

Cool @clio09. Are the RM-200's the "standard" Mk.2 version, or with the transformer(s) personally hand-wound by Roger?
