Stereophile, no more bench tests????!!!!


Looks like Stereophile may be cutting back on expenses, no more bench testing for measurements and specs to keep the manufacturers and reviewers honest, it'll make you think twice on what to believe now, without the proof to back it up.

I'm very surprised as well as disappointed. I am always anxious to read the test report and measurements no mater if it's a speaker, amplifier or whatever. Maybe John Atkinson is winding down. If so, they should find someone else who is qualified to do the measurements.
Oh well,I kinda figured they were going in this direction.

I agree with roxy,maybe they will keep all of their test equipment and find a qualified person to continue on.

I always preferred Stereophile over TAS because of JA's measurements! I will miss this part of the magazine!
