The audiophile enthusiast magazines discussed here, however honest and ethical their writers and editors, however hard they try not to favor one manufacturer over another, have a fundamental, inescapable, and completely understandable and reasonable, bias. If the high-end audio industry dies, they will die. If the industry prospers, they have a good chance to prosper.For at least this reason, the basic goal of these magazines is to encourage and stimulate interest in high-end audio, and therefore in the high-end audio industry and its products. There are plenty of music lovers who think that all you need is a $300 shelf system, an iPod, or a Bose Wave radio. They won't be asked to write a regular column in Stereophile. I see nothing wrong with that. The same kind of bias is found in almost all hobby magazines.
This really isn't a credibility issue and won't be resolved by the type of credibility debates that go on here. If you don't think today's high-end audio industry is worthwhile in general, you aren't going to be able to swallow most of what is written in these magazines. That opinion is obviously what is behind many of the negative posts here. The solution is to read something else.
