The mag is OK to read for (some) entertainment value but they basically recommend just about everything they review.
Latest Stereophile - Recommended Components
I wonder if it's just me or have I missed something. I received the latest Stereophile that has the latest "Recommended Components" and it seemed like the number of amps listed is very short. In fact, there seems to be a heavy emphasis on listings for turntables and CD/DVD players and a number of speakers and that's about it.
