Whining, swan dives and other inappropiate topics get moved here.

Another conspiracy theorist troll...

>If the recommended components list issues are a magazines biggest selling issues what does that tell us about the people who are reading the magazine, ie. audiophiles and/or people who are interested in buying audio equipment?>

It tells you people like comprehensive 'best of' lists.

>It tells me that audiophiles in general crave snake oil...>

Name some specific Recommended Components from the list that you find to be 'snake oil'.

We're waiting...

>...and that the magazines are willing to deliver it in spades in make more money. Ie - to sell more magazines as well as a value added benefit for the manufacturers who play ball (ie. use the magazine as a marketing vehicle). For years the audio press has been skillfully blurring the lines between being an audiophile resource and a marketing vehicle for industry insiders.>

For years idiots like you have been trying to cast aspersions on the equipment reviewing publications because they are supported by advertising so you can pay less than $1 an issue.

As JA will mention, there are many Recommended Components which have NEVER adverstised in the magazine.

If you know of any specific quid-pro-quos, please tell us about them.

Otherwise please go back into your cave....
