This is one of the areas where the audio magazines *could* help if they so
chose. They could adopt a suitable set of test measurement standards and
apply them. Then both publish the results, and 'name and shame' makers whos
published specs were twaddle.

Alas, the track record is that mags tend to prefer to publish 'subjective
auditions'... Pretty useless for prospective customers, and apply no
pressure on makers whatsoever... :-/

The mags also publish advertisements for the equipment they "review". I wonder
if this could have something to do with the tone of the editorial content?
