In the publishing business the magazines serve the advertisers, not the readership. Advertising works by spreading mis- and dis-information (or lies and half truths). Mnyb is correct in that by completely disregarding the science of digital audio TAS and the other audio magazines create a world in which in USB cables can add jitter or in which a two files with identical checksums are somehow different. Now if you were trying to sell $500 USB cables and $2,000 power cords in which magazine, the one in which hard science is respected or the one in which hard science is ignored, would you rather advertise in?
