Doh! I didn’t know this. For the last few years I only ever watch the review “homepage/index” for new reviews, sometimes a week or so between updates. Now I’ll have to go back and look to see what I’ve missed.
Agreed, this type of search words very well to find reviews. It is good if "review" is in the title, along with some keywords like "speaker" "DAC", "Phono", "amplifier", "AVR", "CD player". As long as there are such keywords it is easy to find reviews, and specific ones if you have a model no.

I'm confused-I thought @amirm said the "Index" wasn't updated. Therefore the only way to know if new reviews are posted is to go to the "Review" homepage. Correct?

Advanced search. Sort by date. Written by amirm. Has "review" in the title. Newest to oldest reviews. Easy peasy. Not sure if that's a permanent link, though.
Consider adding a 'link' to this posting with a brief explanation to the relevant pages of the Master Audio Review Index and creating a 'sticky' for the posting.
I have already completed the reclassification of the Headphones category, and all products in this category have been properly indexed. I have also manually classified many products in the Audio Electronics category, but due to the sheer scale of the task, I couldn't persist with it. I haven't started indexing the Speakers category yet. I believe many products could be migrated to specific categories directly through the backend using database methods, but I don't have the necessary permissions, nor do I know the complexity of implementing this. May I inquire with the ASR backend engineer if they could assist in bulk categorizing Audio Electronics? If possible, I could then continue with this... somewhat daunting task.

If following things can be auto moved by database means it would be much faster.
I used to separate the preamp, the power amp and the integrated speaker amp during classification, but I then found in the process that there is no essential difference between the power amp and the integrated speaker amp, because modern volume adjustment method is too rich. Taking all things into consideration, the ideal way is to treat the preamp as a separate class, and then treat the power amp and the integrated amp as a class.
