The Absolute Sound "review" of USB cable reads suspiciously like a press releaste


I mean c'mon—can't you even throw in a few according-to-the-manufacturer's?

I've read TAS for years and I get their email newsletter. The newest one just came today. The headline reads " Reviews: KEF, Triangle, Nordost, Muraudio | Joe Lovano". The Nordost refers to the USB cable.

It doesn't look like this is a mistake and it's pretty disturbing. I read both Stereophile and TAS and generally I trust their reviews. They are a tremendous help in buying used equipment that I cannot audition. This "review" blatantly crosses the line between an actual equipment report and a paid advertisement. Shame on TAS.
