I've kind of come around to giving Stereophile a little more credence than I used to. If you go over to audioasylum critics corner, he answers these kinds of threads regularly and with great aplomb. Also John Marks and others post there. I think they work with integrity. John answers just about every complaint someone comes up with. One favorite is heavy advertisers get better reviews or won't get a bad review. I respect they way he and John reply to questions there. Check it out.
Recommended components on Stereophile Magazine.
1/ I'm gathering thoughts, if you read Stereophile's recommended components pages, would you buy a "class-A" comnopnent for $3K or spend $8K for a "class-B" ?
2/ Do you fully trust Stereophile's recommendation?
3/Just to be safe, I think I would go with their rec. "class-A" unit for $3K.
