Why so few vinyl reviews in TAS and Stereophile?

151.196.23.35

If vinyl is having such a resurgence why are there so few vinyl reviews in TAS and Stereophile? Also when they do review reissues, the least they could do is compare it to the original pressing-lazy. On new issues are they analogue sourced and processed? AAA, DAA, DDA? If they did the above they might even sell more magazines. Where are the old critical reviews of early TAS? Those reviews turned many of us on to so many great records and companies (EMI, Island, Decca, Lyrita,etc.). If any of you have those early TAS issues (1 to 15) go back and re-read them. Better yet why doesn't TAS republish those early record reviews?
