Click to expand... I used to subscribe, but they turned into one handed reading material for iPod lovers. (seriously, Ken pohlmann did atleast 15 pages a year talking about how cool his iPod is). Aside from all things 'pod their coverage has been restricted to A: mediocre cube/small speaker systems. B: Artfully designed subwoofers C: the "wired home", even though nobody I have ever met thought connecting 12 TVs to a single harddrive and playing music through 50 in-ceiling speakers was ever a good idea.

Hi Ho Audioholic Samurai Sep 30, 2005 2,450 0 83 39 Mar 8, 2006 #22 I pick up Sound&Vision at the library once in a while. I agree, they have been taken over by Ipod fever. They seem to review a lot of mediocre equipment as well.

Click to expand... This is the bread and butter of these magazines; HiFi did a "test" a year or so ago on expensive to insultingly expensive speaker cables. The test was designed to prove their point and, sure enough, that's what it did. I've seen the same thing in TAS as well as Stereophile, but I've got to admit, I really like reading Stereophile. I like the fact that Atkinson participated in a blind test and couldn't tell between his own (expensive) amp and a much cheaper one...and strill wrote about it. I also really liked the one where Art Dudley did a review of the Audioquest battery powered speaker cables (wink wink) and even in the face of what must have been not inconsiderable marketing pressure, couldn't take the cables seriously. Bryan...he used the phrase "bad, willful electrons!"...

Welcome Oh, I bet that reviewer was hired because he is a good writer, not because there is a technical requirement at that rag. That is not unique either. Click to expand... He's not a good writer. He was hired because people believe everything they read online, and call it "research."
