That list is nothing more than an opinioned list..
much of the best gear they list is the same junk as the cheap(bad) gear on their listing with a different brand name on the part.

I pay more attention to country of origin than anything else with regards to lists like these-but 95% imo of people don't keep up with stereo stuff so it's a good start at least.
