Stereophile exists to defend the right of a stereo component to cost 5-6 figures, to guard that numerical goalpost against any sensible thinking and skepticism.
I don't get why Stereophile exists today however. The reviewer-manufacturer-dealer power trio is long dead. What market power does it have anymore? Or is it just defending 5-6 figure audio components out of some principle?
