I can't find it either now - but it was not long ago.
I think it is quite reasonable given that print magazines are on deadlines. As I recall Musical Fidelity has a lot of products in line for review or available. If manufacturer XYZ for whatever reason fails to deliver their product (or it fails) or just generally delayed they have Musical Fidelity products available to be bumped up in the queue so the magazine isn't left with a blank space. Most of us don't run print magazines but I think there is a lot of pressure to get things on on time. With E-zines if someone doesn't deliver me something it doesn't matter because we're on our own time frames.
Besides if you're a Musical Fidelity fan and perhaps many Stereophile subscribers are - they'll be quite happy to read another MF review.
I think people expect a little too much for their $3 an issue or whatever. I spend more on toilet paper.
