I agree with most persons that Stereo Review is not an altogether good source of information, but it does help ground one to reality (its OK to not be able to afford 20k for a system). Recently I was skipping across an old evaluation of the Pioneer Elite CD player (at least several months old), and in the end, the reviewer failed to find any sound difference justifying its higher price. It sounded "at least as good as" the other <lower priced> players reviewed. I see this to indicate one of two things: 1) they're absolutely right 2) their emphasis on sound quality is slighted by the more serious audiophile magazines. So there's a sort-of-negative review! - paulxxxx@leland.stanford.edu
