Stereophile seems pretty straightforward to me and they seem to be clear about their measurements. Of course, measurements can never tell the whole story and they're not a substitute for listening.
Stereophile is one of the few magazines that actually conducts its own measurements, so the OP's claim that the magazine "complains it's (sic) readers are too informed" just doesn't make sense.
