"...you are welcome to ask anyone in the audio industry if they know of any impropriety that has resulted from our relationship."Well, as the 'audio industry' is where the advertisers are, of course they are not likely to object when the person they are buying ads from has a close relationship with the editor!
It's the READER who might have a question or two.
That said, I have no problem because I never gave two hoots about the mythological 'Chinese Wall' between the advertizing side and the editorial side, because both work for the publisher, and publishing has NEVER been as pure as it likes to pretend to be.
Look a the hubbub at the NYT over the recent firing of its Executive Editor Jill Abramson. Among her many problems, she had conflict with Chief Executive Mark Thompson over 'native advertising'. Which in its worst form is advertising that is hidden within or disguised as editorial content.
Party may be close to over for print publications, but it ain't the fault of Stereophile and who the Editor is married to.

Does the Editor have a duty to his readers to disclose such information? A disclosure, indicates transparency of organization and yields higher legitimacy and trust in the reviews and in editorial decisions the magazine.; JA passed up a solid opportunity.
But those are 'industry people' who both submit product to himself and his writers for review and buy ads from his wife.
Them's his folks!
And it seems his folks ain't us folks.
Hey you seem to have great neuroplasticity!
Lumosity?
OTH maybe its just ethicoplasticity?
