I gave up on Stereo Review many years ago when it became too obvious they never met or tried an advertiser's product they didn't like and/or recommend. Stereophile magazine seems to have gradually moved out of any possible meaningful range for me as I'm much more likely to drop $60K on a new Mercedes as I am on a pair of amps, and a 4 box CD player at $130K is something I just can't relate too, especially after hearing one in a hyper expensive system with unacceptable imaging.
what's your opinion on the magazine 'stereo review'??
i started reading 'stereo review' back in the early 70's untill they retired. i used to buy their magazine every month. whatever i know about stereo equipment is what i've read in their magazine! any thoughts after all these years???
