I have explained this many times.I only feel that amir isn't to the level he should be on topping amp reliability issues. He's "sly" about it now with little hints about reliability but he should just come out and say that the pa5 was a trash tier product.
I get a ton of gear to review. I unpack the device, put it on the bench, do the testing and publish. I read the comments for a couple of days in the thread and then move on. I have little visibility then to what all customers discover later. Even if a person or two complains about something, I can't just run with that without verification myself. The forum is here for you all to do that. Indeed, we are the de-facto owner forum for Topping. In that sense, I am providing the platform for you all to get the message out if there is systematic problem there.
Now, if a product fails during my testing, you better be sure I point it out. Other than this, I don't consider it part of my job to read every post about every product and deduce issues and then go and shout about it. To be sure, I have done this once or twice before when members specifically contacted me about the issue.
Finally, as noted, no other reviewer does what you are asking me. What follow up has Stereophile done for a product they reviewed that turns out to have faults? I have never seen such a thing.
