Yup.

Did they ask you for a sample?
Much of that review is fair and covers low to high end dacs, although they did not test Gordon's technology.

No, it's a funny thing. After we found out that their top reviewer stole $50,000 worth of cables without receiving any punishment (in fact the company loaned the reviewer the money to pay for the stolen cables), we severed all ties with the magazine. No ads, no review samples, nothing.
The editors of TAS were not pleased to have their dirty laundry aired in public. Is the condemnation of USB a way to try and get back at us? I don't know -- you decide. I haven't even seen the article yet.
Haven't seen the article yet. Preferred TAS when it was a journal. Still subscribe. RH does a good job reviewing digital. He uses a computer and dac for his system. Surprised to see TAS reviews on the Ayre website.
thanks

Good point. They are very old. We should probably pull them down, as I really am not very interested in promoting their magazine.
It's interesting that the article says Wavelength chose not to participate but they didn't elaborate. The author made it sound like Wavelength was "afraid" to participate.
That is simply horrendous. I cannot believe they stole cables (just a rhetorical expression---I do believe you). I had heard very nasty suspicious behavior stories about TAS but never had it corroborated like this. I am reluctant to buy another issue.
I was at the 2007 ces in vegas in a 'power line conditioner' manufacturer room and they had indicated their top designer was in negotiaton meetings with tas and could not be here to explain new products. The body language indicated that the spokeperson was not happy with the 'negotiaton' and it was rather uncomfortable. The next issue of tas this manufacturer received fantastic reviews. I knew others who worked with tas for a while and told numerable sleazy stories about the internal workings of tas.
I obviously don't have the details of the incident.
But if you have severed ties, then you cannot complain about the lack of a review.
