Stereophile ONLY rates the products they have reviewed, unlike TAS which will give a product they heard at a show but didn’t review a rating as well. I find Stereophile much more honest than TAS. I do have subscriptions to both and have been a subscriber since 1990. I do not trust Robert Harley or Jonathan Valin, as anything Uber expensive gets a good write up.
Harry Pearson is probably shouting from his grave for the way the magazine is run now. TAS has nice ads and that for me is the best audio porn out there. I take everything written in both magazines with a grain of salt, but in TAS case, more than one grain.
