I agree. The truly sad part is that Stereophile and TAS both can sometimes offer some very advice although those times are becoming rarer and rarer. With all the nonsense both these once worthwhile magazines have tossed with respect to cables/wires/interconnects and computer based digital audio one now has to very seriously question each and every thing written in their pages. As I've stated elsewhere not only do they rarely do any kind direct listening comparisons, such as simple A/B testing, never mind double blind testing, but they go so far as making comparisons based on their reviewers years old memory of how a piece of equipment sounds. For example a reviewer reviewing a new revision to a piece of equipment, say a Mark II model, will compare the sound of the new unit with their memory of the original unit that they reviewed several years ago. Yikes!!........ And this is why I call them CLOWNS!!! And by calling them clowns I am actually being rather nice since they should really be called what they are: prostitutes.
