Sorry, mate, I suppose that was a bit rash. I do like your magazine, truth be told. You give freedom to your writers to express their impressions and favorites and write whatever they want to write about on the subject, it appears. And I do like your writers. I seldom read your magazine reviews, however. Lemme ask you a question? Do you review product of designers who don't advertise with you? How often, would then be my question? Must I continue to read the columns for that? Which I am grateful to be able to do, btw.

Around 50% of the components reviewed in Stereophile are from
non-advertisers. The same proportion applies to products featured on the
magazine's cover and to those recommended in our bi-annual "Recommended
Components" listing. The detailed statistics have been posted here in
Critic's Corner on several occasions.

So, readers could look thru old issues and verify for themselves? That's very commendable and I probably couldn't or wouldn't do better myself. What more can I say? Fifty percent of non advertisers on your covers? Consider me humbled and impressed.

No problem. I am just weary of this meme keeping raising its head. Just
last week a manufacturer told me that as he had been supporting
Stereophile with ads, he expected a review to be forthcoming. Upon
being told that was _not_ how things worked, he canceled his
advertising. :-(

Maestro, thank you for your reply. I did modify my original post in the interim, however.
