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.

Oh well,I kinda figured they were going in this direction.

I agree with roxy,maybe they will keep all of their test equipment and find a qualified person to continue on.

I always preferred Stereophile over TAS because of JA's measurements! I will miss this part of the magazine!

Yeah TAS was for audiophiles who like airy fairy poetic licence to describe the sound and nothing else. I like reviewers that have a pair.

TAS "reviewers", with their "chocolate", "caramel" colorations, and "yin/yang" & astrological references. Too "new age" for me. Subjective taken too far.
