Where are all you guys coming up with this 100% positive review stat? It just is not true. You are all asking for factual statements from this magazine yet you detractors cannot prove your own "facts". Bit ironic don't you think! Like I said, i am not in love with Stereophile...far from it. But they do some good stuff and I do not have a problem reading positive stuff! And they are not Consumer Reports BTW...nor do they try to be. Funny sice CR got so nailed recently for false reporting!!!!! -- mauidj Oracle Delphi/SME IV/Dynavector, SB3, Krell EVO-555, Krell EVO-202, Krell EVO-402, B&W 801-Matrix3.
