Sterophile's not so nice review of Bryston

let's examine this from the manufacturer's side. if you give an ad to an ad agency and they do a bad job on the ad, you will no longer do business with them.

if stereophile presents one of their products in a manner which will reduce sells, Bryston will consider that stereophile is hurting their business and not advertise.

it is unfortunate that business relationships are in such a state, but that's the way it is.

if you don't take ads, you can say anything you want about a product. but then again , you could get sued.

I went to the show in Jacksonville last month and there was a panal of 3 caps that bosted how they were the best reviewers on the planet. Online reviewers were crap and didn't know squat. Peacock feathers all over the room if you ask me.

$$$ is the bottom line and I would trust the online reviewers over the big $$$ Mag. reviewers anyday.

Reading my notes, AS mag only has one superstar reviewer and you can not build a mag around one superstar was said by the peacocks.

Always let another man/woman praise you/your works and life will find that you will be exalted in due season. Sounding your own horn has a uncertain sound to it.

The glory days of manufacturer ass kissing are over, as are the. glory days of hi end audio mags.

Agree ALL magazines need to rethink strategy. I STILL think Agon' and stereophile should get together and start a section on used stuff.. it could really add a LOT to the mag, and add plenty more customers for the goN'
Gong over previous class A or Class B stuff that sells a lot on the goN... what a sweet read. The ONLY magazine I know that has a great, regular section on used product is "AUTOCAR" a Brit publication.
I sent John Atkinson an email about it

I don't think so,on either account.
