In my 14+ years with Stereophile, I have always written about the products that interest me and I have never had any of my comments altered or deleted by the Editor, stylistic and grammatical corrections aside. In addition, I pay absolutely no attention to the ads or, indeed, who advertises as I select products primarily from seeing/hearing them at shows or showrooms, from Internet information and forums, and from personal contacts and correspondence. Also, I firmly resist offers or attempts of visits from manufacturers as I prefer to set up equipment myself and I am fortunate in being able to feed myself. The major exceptions are made when the size/weight of the product(s) are beyond my abilities to manage them. So, perhaps I cannot change your expectations but I do not think you have hit on the reasons why Stereophile reviews may not be from the same perspective that you have. And, btw, I did not say that you were "way off base" but that you are "mostly wrong," based on a quickie analysis of your three points. It also means that you are somewhat right.
