RE: This explains a lot about Stereophile

To recap, you said you let your Stereophile subscription lapse because we
reviewed "ten thousand dollar DAC's and twenty thousand dollar amplifiers."
I pointed out that you were ignoring "all the affordable products we
cover? In a depth you don't find anywhere else?" And I offered you a link
to a landing page here you can find those reviews. Unless you were saying
that it doesn't matter that we do review affordable products, it is the
presence of reviews of expensive components that bothers you? In which
case, I suggest you have unrealistic expectations - there isn't a
magazine in existence that ignores Ferraris or even Audis in favor of an
exclusive diet of Kias.

Instead of acknowledging that at the very least the subject was not as
black and white as you had made out, you called me "arrogant."

>No vision. Poor judgment. Yup. That's Stereophile.

Sorry to ruffle your feathers. I guess you are continuing the tradition
that on the Internet, an anonymous troll will never ever admit to being
wrong about _anything_ :-)
