TAS vs. Stereophile

Your opinion as a manufacturer is interesting. As a general reader though, I am impressed by TAS's fresh format & expanded coverage (particularly it's long, sophisticated music review section, contrasting with Stereophile's sad retrenchment in this area). In general Stereophile has shrunk down visibly in ill health, as the TAS (and its sister publication The Perfect Vision) have expanded.

However, the opinions of TAS reviewers have always veered toward purple, drunk descriptions of exalted SOTA sonics that, if taken without a big grain of salt, may lead one to doubt one's own ears. In the current issue, for example, the Kuzma vs. Walker hi-end shoot-out will disappoint the Kuzma owner by making him feel like he just spend $28K on the second-best lay in the world.
