RE: "there is no such thing as independance in trade magazines"

Complete nonsense.

For example, when I wrote for Listener I had no interaction of any kind with the ad sales department. I think I may have spoken at most a dozen words to the magazine's advertising rep during Listener's entire life, and that was casual small talk at a party once. Editor / publisher Art Dudley never said anything about ads when we discussed my articles, save for one occasion when he told me that a speaker importer had cancelled his ads after I had given one of his models a lukewarm review. That information was not presented as a criticism or complaint; in fact Art took a sort of pride in the incident. John Atkinson has written here many many times that Stereophile's writers have no contact with that magazine's advertising staff.
