Rank Stereophile, & why no Von Schweikert reviews

It's interesting that neither Stereophile nor TAS has reviewed some of the most discussed pieces here; for instance: the EMM DCC2/CDSD, Reimyo CDP777, HP Caravelles, or anything from Green Mountain audio or Tyler Acoustics. Why don't they read the forums & write for us? Don't they want to sell magazines?

Rgs92,

They don't write for us because we are the lunatic fringe. We actually know as much, or more, about this stuff than they do.

Additionally, I have always felt that the glossy rags are seeking the well-heeled, uninitiated buyer for their advertisers.

I can remember while reading Stereophile and Audio back in the 70s, wondering how it could be that everything on every page was grounbreaking or incomparable. Just how many bests were there? I'm still wondering, aren't you?

Thanks, Macrojack.
I do fondly remember when S'phile in the 90's had reviews that were right on the money. Like when Wes Phillips noted that a pair of Watt Puppy 5's would have you wandering from dealer to dealer to find matching equipment to make them sound good. Or in 1990 when they noted that Apogee Stages reproduced vocals more naturally than any speaker, regardless of cost. Or that Aerial 10t's had and upfront sound but little depth in the soundstage.
Those were the days.

Yup, Remember how we used to reminisce?

One mag that is actually useful is HiFi. They seem to be very objective no matter what they review.
