Rank Stereophile, & why no Von Schweikert reviews

....You can't really see it in the low-rez version, but if you blow-up the "handshake" in the photo I linked to you should be able to make out the handoff of a fistfull of dead presidents and some front-row concert tickets. Little dudes are actually paying off the Peanut-head for some favorable ink on their new line of horns. The head of marketing, seen to the left, is demonstrating one of their $10K BozoHorn models. At the left edge of the photo the CEO of the company can be seen looking on from his secretary's arms. Who says small manufacturers can't get reviewed in Stereophile?! Judging by the size of the wad of greenbacks I'd say the BozoHorns are sure to make it into Class A this year!

Jax2, if you look REALLY close, there seems to be a couple of crack rocks in that handoff, too. That might get a half page ad out of Atkinson...

I am not a Von Schweikert fan but Stereophile is a joke. I tried to explain the reason I do not trust any review but audiogon mut have thought it was to controversial to post.

They dont have the space or time for a VS review,with all that Musical Fidelity gear to keep up with...

I used to own VR 4.5's and they were rubbish. nice and bright with little controlled bass. great hi fi, but not for listening to music.

Vienna mahlers are night and day better - even when I had tube amps

hope they are better these days
