>Why no headphone reviews in S-phile?
We are leaving headphone reviews mainly to our InnerFidelity.com website,
edited by Tyll Hertsens.
>Just realized, no headphone section in recommended components.
Not in the April 2015 issue of the print magazine, due to lack of space,
but it does appear in the on-line reprint. (See link below.)

"Lack of space" in a print mag usually means a lack of ad sales, as JA himself has explained on this forum.
As Sterephile's private equity owners might put it, edit pages were given a haircut.
Now, with so much of Stereophile's dwindling print content available free online and other content available only online, why subscribe? For the measurements? (These could be buried online but that would diminish JA's gravitas.)
Also, three headphone-philes have left -- Wezz, Stephen, and "Sam" -- and one of the remaining writers has described himself as a headphone hater.
We can, however, read about $51,000 line stages. Some things are too expensive for online coverage.
Sam you have an "R" beside your name which lists you as writing reviews for Stereophile. You may wish to update this if it has changed.
.. all due respect but it would be more elegant if you didn't spill it here or spend your life talking about it.Doesn't matter if you're right or wrong, it's irrelevant. We've all noticed you left. Move on.
I did like your column. Even without it I still like reading Stereophile - it's actually the only audio magazine I enjoy - and the day I stop liking it, I will stop reading it without having to be told why.
I think you're doing yourself a disservice by coming across as bitter. We've all been in this situation where we're so angry we want the whole world to know, but after a (short) while, the world stops caring. If Stereophile wronged you - and I'm not questioning it - don't keep going on and on about it. Let us readers decide. We're adults.
Best,
Jean-Baptiste

Perhaps we should vote for a 'agenda free' day.
"Let us readers decide. We're adults."
Decide what, if we're susceptible to mind control?
"We've all been in this situation where we're so angry we want the whole world to know..."
You're right, time-out on the 'agenda free' idea.
Thank you for this as I was beginning to think that all my problems were MY fault. Now if I just knew who was controlling the strings and where the kool-aide was coming from? Maybe there are some underlying messages buried in music I listen to. ;> )

Yeah, Sam. How dare you attempt to shed any light on a subject matter that could possibly benefit us "audiophiles". Especially if you're right.
Please leave us now and turn the lights back off on your way out so we get back to finding truth on our own and making decisions for ourselves without any outside influence.
Now go in peace.
{sigh}
Thank goodness he's gone. Now we adults can get back to discovering the truth for ... HEY! Who touched me?
Oy vey, I can see how it would be perturbing to manufacturers to have their six figure components relegated to e-zine status.
Here is what I would like to see..for kicks.
Mikey Fremer having to review stuff using only digital sources, Art Dudley only given solid state to review, and John Atkinson to have to spin vinyl..the ticks and pops and surface noise would eventually make the engineering side of him snap records in half. Me too.
Man, I hope it's not about Mr. Atkinson confirming his endorsement of the Vandersteen's being "musically perfect across the board" and my suggesting his comment was the best evidence yet illustrating from a performance perspective, the "high-end" audio industry is still very much in its infancy stages?
After all, it was just an observation.

What will tomorrow bring?
