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.

I buy based completely on specs and really miss Dick Heyser’s brilliant, and comprehensive, work while at Audio. 

It is is a shame that Stereophile will no longer be proffering lab tests, but it is going to save me a lot of money as without this info I am going to stand pat and just keep the technically correct gear that I have.
