In Reply to: Re: I ... (am) puzzled why so much criticism is directed at Stereophile ..." posted by regmac on February 17, 2007 at 14:06:35:
Of course they typically cost a lot per issue on the magazine stand at Borders so maybe you do have to pay a lot more to get real criticism. If a speaker was rated 1 star out of 5 stars in a British journal, then the reader is getting information that Stereophile will never provide.Of couse you can get Stereophile for 75 cents an issue by subscription, and you don't have to take the reviews as anything but light entertainment (fiction).
I think that you are somewhat right -- If Stereophile rated most of the products reviewed as "average', and only a small percentage as "above average' or "below average", then I believe advertisers would change.
I think there would be more ads from retail dealers, and fewer from audio manufacturers ...... especially after one or more of their product(s) were rated below average.
It would be a waste of money to advertise a product in a magazine after it got a below-average review, and maybe even a waste of money to advertise the brand.
