Dear Srajan, "unicorn transistor monos"? That's a rather unconventional way of framing. Do you think people will have any idea what it means when they come across that phrase? Charlie

Absolutely not. That's the point. They'll be forced to read the review. Then it makes perfect sense. And making sense of it by first reading what I actually wrote is the whole point of my reviews. Explaining what makes these amps unique in the few words allowed by an award caption rather negates the alternate approach of spelling it all out laundry-list style. At least that's my excuse for the one-word 'unicorn' stunt. It tells you that it shouldn't really exist so must be rare. For anything more, read the review. Hopefully the lure of the word 'unicorn' is strong enough to look it up should one come across the award not at the end of my article but just the image file in isolation. Feel free to disagree with my reasoning. Just rest assured that this choice wasn't arbitrary but considered. Srajan
