This is what their Website says: "...2004 Stereophile Buyer's Guide lists every high-end audio component available in the US..."I took a look at it today, and was astonished to see the many, many items missing in action. In the TURNTABLE section, for example: No VIP (ditto under TONEARMS), only partial listing for BASIS, no SOTA, etc., etc.
In the CARTRIDGE section: No mention of Audio-Technica, nor of Ortofon or Dynavector.Other names missing include Magnum Dynalab (INTEGRATED AMPS), Spectral, (AMPS, PREAMPS). After this much, I gave up looking further.
"Every high-end audio component available in the U.S.?" What an unmitigated waste of time.
