From a publication that also does measurements, the correct way is to always measure apart from listening and keep the results away from the reviewer. Has to be separate. So the way it was done in Stereophile is the way we do it here at SoundStage!
But the issue becomes that when a product measures so poorly, what should happen? Because here's what happens when you publish a review, show atrocious measurements, and, most important, the manufacturer changes the unit -- you end up with a different unit altogether and a completely useless review because of it.
The only way to remedy that is to re-review the unit completely.
