New Stereophile recommended list


STEREOPHILE says it will disclose the reason why a component is deleted from the recommended list, but last year Class B Musical Fidelity A3 CDP disapears on this issue without any mention. Is it a political(fund raising?) kind of move?

What is Stereophile? Is that the same as an audiophile? If not, which is better audio or stereo? I want the one that is better. But really, what am I getting for my magazine dollars? DO I really need some jackass to tell me that a $75000 air driven turntable represents an "achivement (sic) that will floor me"? IF I paid the money for one and it doesn't floor me, I'm chucking it through the front window of the place I got it. Another joke.
So what do I do if I am trying to sell something that WAS on the list? Do I say this thing used to be a stereophile recommended component, but no longer is? Can I say it is still a recommended component and stereophile cannot change their minds on me? OR is the proper way to plug the list in your ad, this thing is/was a recommended component? Talk about uncertanty in the market place. Seriously, which is proper? Once its gone its gone???????????????????????????
Way to air it all out Trelja. I am starting to look at steroephile as an advertising racket and nothing more. Ever noticed how little they say about anything they review? I have never seen so much writing say nothing. I wonder what the actual correlation is between advertising and reviews? In any other situation I can think of, the legitimacy of the endorsement would be closely scrutinized because of apparent conflicts of interest.
