All the bitching and moaning about the high-end audio mags is a bit juvenile. In their current business model (ad-supported that is), customers should understand that you are not going to get an unbiased review of equipment and learn how to read between the lines. There are positive reviews and then there are really positive reviews. It's like Wall Street stock research. Please tell me how many stocks get rated Sell vs. the much more popular Buy or Hold ratings?
If readers truly want non-ad supported magazines that offer professional and non-biased or at least non-influenced reviews, then put your money where your mouth is and be prepared to pay for such a publiucation through much higher subscription fees.
You cannot have it both ways!
