From day one The Absolute Sound praised Audio Research products.
In fact the reviews in TAS MADE ARC famous and prosperous.
(Back in the day when a single review could make OR break a company.
Clearly TAS and ARC slept together... As ARC loaned stuff to TAS for eternities, and were great with those other Minnesota guys, Magnepan.
So all in all TAS has always been close as bugs in a rug with ARC and magnepan.
And Stereophile has kept a big distance. Perhaps not to conflict with TAS, or maybe why would the companies take a chance on Stereophile, when TAS gushes so freely over the products?
PS I AM a BIG FAN of Magnepan, and Audio Research. And I own some of both companies products.
