In Reply to: I don't really understand why everyone bashes Stereophile magazine... posted by uw312@aol.com on November 19, 2003 at 09:32:06:
reviews I read (namely the combo music/3 speaker system review). However, being familar with one of the speakers I did not see that portion of the article as being accurate and/or informative (never cared for nutshell reviews in general.Think you may be referring to the Gillet Musical Fidelity reviews that rubbed some the wrong way.
I knock the single issue I recently went through as compared to like magazines 20+ years ago.
The old mag's often included test measurements, that while not always useful, were nonetheless there when needed. If nothing else the measurments helped to weed out major flaws/problems one was likely to encounter when system matching.
I also prefer to see equipment reviewed in multiple systems (a practice that seems to be falling out of style). There is a British online mag that used to do this, but they stopped aprrox. 1.5 years ago during/following reconstruction. I realize that doing this is a lot more work for the reviewer (like 6 times as much work to use three systems), but it's still the best way to gather info for an accurate (more accurate) review. This requires time spent that the writers/reviewers need to be compensated for which is probably why such reviews are no longer popular.
