This is one of the areas where the audio magazines *could* help if they so

Alas, the track record is that mags tend to prefer to publish 'subjective
auditions'... Pretty useless for prospective customers, and apply no
pressure on makers whatsoever... :-/

The mags also publish advertisements for the equipment they "review". I wonder
if this could have something to do with the tone of the editorial content?
