All your points have been hashed and re-hashed on this forum several times already. In the end the mags are controlled by their owners and editors, and every hifi mag is a business whose first goal is to survive and prosper. S'phile and a few others have found a way to do that and are unlikely to make any risky changes unless confronted by evidence that the vast majority of their readership demands it.Others - including me - have complained about hifi mags' lack of emphasis on price/performance ratio, hyperbole to exaggerate differences, and calling a spade a spade instead of requiring reading between the lines. But a few complaints on Critics does not a readership rebellion make. In fact, the majority of the readership of the biggest on the block (S'phile) are apparently pretty happy with the mag, as it is either sustaining or growing its readership in a small niche market. Although I happen to agree with some of your points, I can understand that from JA's (or another editor's) point of view its more like "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".
