Ah I see. Hence your help and Beetlemania's man crush.
And can we put you down as a "fanboy" of JV? Or, perhaps, you simply get off taking shots at anyone who likes Stereophile?
My involvement in this thread is much less a defense of Valin than it is a condemnation of Hansen. I enjoy taking shots at anyone that thinks Stereophile is better or "cleaner" than TAS. They both suffer from the same realities which prevent true objectivity.
I'm not gonna claim Stereophile is perfect but they are much more transparent than TAS. Just look at how JA and the others regularly answer their critics on this forum. IIRC, Stereophile once had an comparable situation to the Nordost debacle; the involved writer was sacked. Stereophile actually has policies in place to reduce, if not prevent, misbehavior and they appear to enforce those policies. Beyond debate, Stereophile's measurements set them apart from any print mag in North America.
I personally enjoy Stereophile's writers much more than TAS'. The last several TAS I've read entertained me for <30 min. Even a "crappy" issue of Stereophile can keep my interest for at least an hour and most issues I spend 2-4 h with. That's a pretty good deal for a buck an issue. Finally, Stereophile has several writer's whose ears I trust as I've shared their opinions regarding reviewed equipment that I've also heard.
Remember, JNS despises SP, almost as much as CH hates JV.
Sorry, I should have prefaced that statement by mentioning that Stereophile is indeed better and cleaner than TAS!
