Any of these magazines ever come out and say that
Product X made by Company Y really sucked?

The situation is that they are mostly reviewing extremely
expensive and high end products. Generally, such products do not really
suck.


SET amps, anyone? Shakti Stones? Shun Mook Mpingo discs? Bedini
Clarifiers? Power conditioners? High $ "interconnects"? High $ power
cords? Shall I go on?


Of course, there is the valid question as to whether
one can get comparable sound for less money than some of the
other high priced items. Careful and persistent reading of the magazine
may
help steer
one in that direction.


To which magazine are you referring, Art? Surely, one cannot glean such
information by reading Stereophile.


that's your problem, I have done well by them.



My problem? Sorry, Art, but I see Stereophile for exactly the scam it
is. If you want to engage in a fantasy about getting a 'good value'
audio system by "the careful and persistent reading' of Stereophile,
good luck. Hope you don't go blind.

OTOH, can one "get comparable sound for less money than some of the
other high priced items"? Of course. But you don't need Atkinson's
Little Rip-off for that.
