Forgive me for doubting what you obviously regard as a well-formed opinion,
but in the case of Stereophile, there is actually no such correlation. (I can't
speak for TAS, obviously.) Advertising has no influence on what we report
from shows, what we put on our covers, what we recommend etc.

Frankly, I grow weary of people damning magazines with such a broad
brush when, if they actually examined the reality, they would have nothing to
say.
