I understand my beef is with Absolute Sound today, yet I still prefer it to Stereophile, but not by much. I mean, how many 10 pages-long "Magico" reviews and endorsements can you handle ?
As far as What HiFi is concerned, they are of course very UK-centric and are really nit-picking ''imported'' gear and I was told they don't even let the gear break-in before making final judgements.
They are the king of the small brick-like integrated as their ''high-end'' (some of those bricks are marvelous by the way) reviewed units, as well as the under 2K speakers champion that they make sound like 10k units.
