Best of Awards Category Description

The SECRETS “Best of Awards” are awarded once a year, in December. The process of deciding on the awards is an arduous one, undertaken by our Editors and Secrets Team. Every year SECRETS has an opportunity to review great products across the spectrum of audio and video components and some products are truly outstanding: it is to the outstanding products that we award the SECRETS Best of Award.

In 2016, we are adding an award category: The SECRETS Thumbs-up Award. The Editorial Team wants to recognize the products that we found to be excellent and which we, as SECRETS, would recommend to any buyer. So the SECRETS Thumbs-up Award is SECRETS Recommended!

Every year we are asked why we do not award a product in every conceivable audio and video category. Simply, it is our practice to not come up with something just to have an award, so we do not award a product in every possible component category. Our categories change from year-to-year. Also we do not attach a “recommended” stamp as we publish reviews throughout the year, although we have been asked to consider. Our SECRETS “Thumbs-Up Award” will now highlight many products that we recommend.
