Purist Audio & Stereophile

I believe it is a risk for companies to submit products for review. It is a challenge to get your product into the magazine, and then the review may not be as good as you had hoped. My Meadowlark Shearwater Hot Rods are a case in point. These speakers were an underground success, but Chip Stern's Stereophile piece ranked them in class "C", damning them with faint praise.

Some manufacturers may prefer to stay clear of such dangers.

One other thought. I do not know American law, but the extortion that Mt10425 refers to may be actionable.

Purist Audio Design in 2003 won the Golden Ear Award with our Dominus line in the Absolute Sound. We have had many of our products worldwide in rave reviews. We have been mentioned as products used in reference systems for review. We also in the past have been mentioned as recommened component in Stereophile for our Colossus Line, however we have not submitted any products currently produced to Stereophile.

I guess that answers my question. Thanks, Ms Auld-Stahl.

I do not know why the Purist Audio Dominus cables do not receive more favorable press, however I do believe my ears and since I got my digtal Dominus cable, I am certainly a believer!

Kimberly, thanks for weighing in on this subject. I guess there probably isn't a better source.
