They weren't. His most recent AudioQuest review, of the DragonFly v1.2
(see link below) appeared in our March 2014 issue, which was prepared last
December. This predated the outreach from AudioQuest and the eventual
offer of a job.
>The reviews were probably just the means for him to be introduced to
>some of the AudioQuest folks...
Incorrect. My asking Stephen Mejias to contribute reviews to Stereophile
in January 2011 had nothing to do with "introducing him to the AudioQuest
folks" and everything to do with what he brought to the table as a
listener, music lover, and writer. And Stephen, as Stereophile's
erstwhile editorial assistant since August 2000 and assistant editor since
June 2008, was widely known in the audio industry even before he started
contributing reviews and his "Entry Level" column.
>it does make you wonder when audio critics end of working for the people
>whose products they've been reviewing.
A fair question to ask, but in this case, everything was above board.
AudioQuest is aggressively hiring people they regard as talented.
