Stereophile's refusal to review more low

The following website www.high-endaudio.com has an extensive section discussing problems with audio equipment reviews. Although I do not have the time, or inclination, to thoroughly examine the author findings, he certainly brings up many interesting points. Perhaps someone here would care to comment on this authors opinions in a civil manner. God bless.

Wellfed: there is a recent thread on high-endaudio. Copy: http://audiogo5.iserver.net/cgi-bin/fr.pl?htech&991207172&read&keyw&zzsalvatore If that fails, try a "Salvatore" search.

Cheers!

i enjoy reading rags like s'phile. i enjoy reviewers like mikey fremer. i *also* enjoy arthur salvatore's website, especially his comments about rags like s'phile. i also enjoy www's like a-gon. how do i reconcile it all? easy - i have a brain, & make decisions based upon *all* inputs. it's the best i can do.

regards to all, doug s.

ps - mikey, i *love* ya, man, but i tink arthur has ya! ;~)

I like them to keep 'shooting for the moon'. I usually wind up buying their super-expensive stuff, albeit several years later at a much reduced price.

Stereophile is a business. They need advertising dollars to survive. I have a personal friend who had one of the best sub $1500 D/A converters available, during 1997. When he approached Sterophile for a review, he was told bluntly:
"As soon as you decide to run an advertisement in our magazine, we will review your unit". Of course, being the small manufacturer that he was, he really couldn't afford to run an advertisment in Sterophile. Any questions?
