Reminds me of a business "rule" where I used to work...

I worked in a place that had limited fulfillment abilities, so our owner instituted a "rule" that he would not sell more of an item than we could provide, "unless more than that number want to pay me for that item."

I.e. "The rule applies only when it fits my caprice."

The Stereophile "rules" just don't seem all that genuine to me.

If you want to review piece of gear that audiophiles can "reasonably" go audtition and require sufficient dealer support, explain again how this rule applies to the Zanden CD player or the Caliburn turntable.

I'd say the average audiophile has little chance of auditioning a great number of the pieces reviewed in Stereophile. But, much like not being able to test drive the latest Bugatti, I enjoy reading about those things anyway.

I don't care about your rules, you don't need them, and I don't see why you keep mentioning them when they are so obviously ignored when they get in the way of selling magaziines. You can review anything you like and I'll be a happy reader, but why make stuff up about "rules" when they apply only you decide they do?

*Not a complaint about your reviews, just a curious reader wondering why you wasted column inches on maintaining this facade.
