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.

Yes, I still read them cover to cover every month.

I remember reading HP's TAS and JGH's stereophile cover to cover as well, sometimes 2 or 3 times over trying to read between the lines. This was before the bigger glossier versions, full of ads.

 These days it takes me at most 5 minutes to go through most TAS.
