Discuss a review. Provide constructive feedback. Talk to the industry.

..and then do you sack a reviewer who gives a positive review to a poorly measuring component?

:)

More seriously, I have often thought it would be good if reviewers could achieve an accreditation that they can discern a certain level of difference. Of course, the testing protocol would be an area of discussion and running the tests would be expensive. And there probably isn't much of an upside for anyone as the likely result is that components really don't sound as different as reviewers would have us believe. So, the component manufacturers won't like that and the reviewers won't like being tested (who does?) and being found less capable than they'd like. Maybe an upside would be for a progressive publication to hire those who do best and boast about it.
