Well, I don't know a blessed thing about the Asylum (I only have the room in my life for one these monumental time-fritterers!), but I do notice that the ol' StereoPile sure gets dumped on a lot around here (and not always without good reason), so maybe they just stay away so as not to get their feelings trampled. Then again, maybe it's even more of war-zone on the Asylum - what do I know (or care, really)? If I was them (the reviewers) though, I sure wouldn't ignore this forum, however uninformed or poorly-written it might tend toward being at times. Just the mere fact that this site has the extremely successful For Sale classifieds as well as a Forum guarantees its relevance in terms of viewing and participation by the very folks who make up a good portion of not only Stereophile's readership, but also the lifeblood of the high end industry.
Audiogon/Asylum and magazine reviewers posts
For whatever reason(s), I have always prefered Audiogon over the Asylum; a few weeks ago there was this post on the Asylum, "Is Stereophile Abstaining From AA ?". Many on here may already know that several reviewers do participate on AudioAsylum. I posted this question to that post, "My question is, why don't they frequent Audiogon as well? Any response JA?" I received the following reply from the reviewer Kal Rubison, "I monitor Audiogon but there's rarely anything worth commenting on."
This post isn't anything against Kal, I was just curious if others that frequent both sites find that AA has more meaningful posts?
