In Reply to: Sterophile Reviewing Policy posted by sanesmith on February 16, 2007 at 00:59:19:
JA's editorial wasn't really about the specifics of what gets chosen for review. Please note Art Dudley's seemingly strange editorial in the same issue.If you look closely at Art's editorial, you will see what this is really all about.
A prominent reviewer from another prominent US audio magazine took tens of thousands of dollars worth of cables that had been loaned to him and sold them on Audiogon. When he got caught, the magazine tried to sweep the sordid facts under the rug and pretend like nothing happened. "Nothing to see here, move along, move along!"
JA and AD were simply reiterating the policies of Stereophile so that you wouldn't confuse the unethical practices of some magazines in the industry with Stereophile's clearly stated and well-enforced policies.
In other words, JA won't stand for that kind of nonsense.
