when JGH started Stereophile in the 60s he wanted to cover all aspects of audio and music. But even then what sold, he told me, was the equipment reviews. That's what the readers wanted. And so Stereophile(and later other mags) morphed into what we have today.
A good example is the issue that led to Audio Amateur being started. One issue of Stereophile(late as usual) was almost completely devoted to building a super Dynaco amp. All Gordon got was where were the reviews. That convinced Ed Dell that do it your self would need its own magazine and thus Audio Amateur.
