I sent the a note to Jim Austin, editor of Stereophile Magazine, on FB note asking this very thing a couple weeks ago. I have not heard back, but then FB probably isn’t the best place to ask. I didn’t want to go through their methods of e-mail.
These guys have listened to countless systems ranging from pedestrian to all the way up. I’m sure that they could offer some constructive criticism on improving things.
Besides, they’ve never done article on what a hobbyist could do using Craigs List/eBay sourced parts. I want them to see the room, lack of treatment, lack of high end equipment, home made additions using a 3D printer, and what can be accomplished for little coin. I want to blow their minds!
