Stereophile, no more bench tests????!!!!


Looks like Stereophile may be cutting back on expenses, no more bench testing for measurements and specs to keep the manufacturers and reviewers honest, it'll make you think twice on what to believe now, without the proof to back it up.

Someone  wondered if "people still read these glossy rags?"  As TAS printed recently, due to someone 'writing in' and asking if TAS was doing okay, TAS responded that their PRINTED subscribership is actually UP, and that TAS was doing well with print.

I read EVERY month, the printed copies of TAS, Stereophile, Hifi Choice Hifi+ and HiFi News.  There is nothing like sitting in bed with a "glossy rag" (or 3 or 4 of them) and NOT having scroll through electronic pages that light up the night.  (And yes, my wife is beside me with her tablet (I have one too) viewing Facebook).
