explain this contradiction in Stereophile.

They provide eloquent subjective appraisals of equipment including
lots of words on the "sound" of the equipment.

They also provide detailed test measurements.

Sometimes the two don't fully concur with one another. Why?

Hi Scott, I have written at length in the magazine about this occasional
lack of correlation in the magazine, most recently in the current
(January) issue. I don't see it as an indictment of my policy, merely a
byproduct of my trying to be open about the subject with my readers and
of giving them as much information about a product as I can.

Happy holidays.
