Stereophile, no more bench tests????!!!!

georgehifi ......no more bench testing for measurements and specs to keep the manufacturers and reviewers honest........

At least there are still blind tests to keep consumers honest. 😄

tgrisham - I would like to present another point of view. In my opinion the measurements are meaningless.....

If the measurements are performed correctly, competently, etc. the measurements would mean something. Albeit I understand what you are meaning, which is that the measurement data may not be indicative of the sound quality or lack thereof. The interpretation of the measurements is what would have meaning. 

In the case of my DAC, I've read on two different forums where one group states the measurements are exceptionally good and another forum where a different group states the same measurements are terrible. 

I'd like to see manufacturers publish measurement data in accordance with industry standards, like those of Audio Precision.
