In your somewhat narrow and apparently ill-informed opinion. You posted a load of totally unsubstantiated crap here to attack folk who have earned far more respect in this industry than some random forum poster hiding behind a pseudonym ever will. I would never argue the audio press is above criticism, I can bring to mind some well documented corruption at times in the UK press, but no way in hell will I run the sort of negativity you attempted to post earlier. Get yourself a blog (and a good lawyer) if you have a soapbox of that magnitude!
From my own interpretation Stereophile is as good as it gets. Good editorial policy and some of the best writers in the industry. Unquestionably a net benefit to both music and audio. Why not aspire to be the same?!
