There are a few writers that I enjoy reading their reviews. Herb is one and Dave McNair at Part Time Audiophile. 

I think Stereophile does a good job. In addition to the reviews, it also has other useful features, including industry news and articles about music and recordings.

I used to read a lot of them when I first got into the hobby seriously. Now I put more weight on forums and user experience.

the glowing and/or growling pearls of wizdum wisdom proffered here...in the hauls of AG'on.....

I get more value out of this site than I do with audio mags.  Members who have problems here don't have the CEOs of the company flying out in their private jets to repo9sition their speakers a quarter inch
