Especially because essentially the same “leaky LMS”  algorithm is used by most if not all of them.  And it doesn’t have very much to do with how many Tera-hertz the DSP chips run or how much the radio weighs.

I’m sure if we took those posts and changed the name of the radio, you couldn't tell them from the current crop.   Someone always thought their IC-xxx or TS-yyyy was sooooo much better.  Anyone saying anything positive about the radio in question (on just about any topic) was immediately accused of being a fan of Kool Aid and having gone to the dark side.  It took actual measurements of (S+N)/N to make the point that — oh, by the way — NR on that radio did what it was supposed to do — raise (S+N)/N on the signal of interest — quite well, regardless of how much or how little it sounded your favorite “other” radio.
