Why no reviews of the Magnepan 3.7 in Stereophile

Beave, Stereophile has a completely different business model than Consumer Reports. For one thing, CR is a broad-based testing organization with a huge subscription base, and operates as non-profit that takes donations, like NPR. Stereophile is a niche magazine with a small subscription base, and not (intended to be :) ) a non-profit. In CR's annual report they mention subscription revenue of $222M for 2010, and contributions of over $17M. While CR doesn't accept ads and Stereophile does, I'm guessing their ad rates are relatively low because their circulation is small and their advertisers are typically small companies. I'd also guess that CR's revenue per subscriber is probably twice Stereophile's.

In good times I suspect Stereophile could afford some purchases for test, but my guess is that in 2011 not so much. Too bad, because the only reason why I subscribe is JA's testing.

I especially enjoy JA's suprise when his measurements are hard to reconcile with the reviewers observations.

I think it's because many frequency response deviations are either pleasant (saddle-shaped curves) or inaudible with music.

I especially enjoy JA's measurements when they are hard to
reconcile with the price of the measured item. There is btw
no need to read 'between the lines' in his measurements. I
also have subscription because of JA.

Regards,

I respect JA however I can never rely on the opinion of a man who never listens to vinyl?
