Stereophile, no more bench tests????!!!!


Looks like Stereophile may be cutting back on expenses, no more bench testing for measurements and specs to keep the manufacturers and reviewers honest, it'll make you think twice on what to believe now, without the proof to back it up.

I agree that The Absolute Sound is a much better publication.  As an editor I can see that Stereophile suffers from poor layout and indexing of information. This is a sign of a failing publication. It lives for the adds.

Anyway any buyer should consult multiple sources before purchasing
a major product. Buyer reviews are very helpful. I wish Audiogon had more of them. I plan to post several this week.
