Regurgitating the ad copy as usual. Did you expect anything else?

I read at the top that they are part of "The Trust Project" which states :

 

We guide our journalists to ask the following questions when double-checking information in a quest for the truth:

     Is it technically accurate?

 

So, who is going to e-mail them about the inaccuracies ?

 

Regards,

Shadders.

That applies to their journalists (if they have any), not their industry shills.

Hi,

May be of interest :

https://www.whathifi.com/advice/mqa-audio-what-it-how-can-you-get-it

States "This means hi-res audio streaming can (and has) become a reality, with songs being delivered exactly how they were recorded in the studio, without requiring huge amounts of bandwidth".

 

Regards,

Shadders.

 

Sorry I prefer the serious work Agitator did and Archimago reported on.

Hi mansr,

Joe Cox is one of the journalists, who published the article. The Trust Project states you can email them.

 

They are also closing down the forum on What Hifi.

 

Regards,

Shadders.

Hi,

What Hifi have just been taken over by Future plc, so it seems that they have standards to meet.

 

The Trust Project (www.thetrustproject.org) is an international consortium of news organisations collaborating to create standards of transparency in journalism .......

 

It seems that other Hifi magazines do not adhere to this. Maybe if What Hifi were notified of the technical inaccuracies then they may change the story. I responded to them earlier before they were taken over by Future plc, and no response.

 

Regards,

Shadders.

I'm not going to email them I'm going to file a complaint to The Trust Project internal team at Santa Clara University.

I know about the project but what is the point journalism is dead in the United States.

They did not care last time, but Future plc probably do, else the link stating they are part of the Trust Project would not be published.

 

It is a bit much is it not, that link right at the top and then a large page of marketing speak from MQA?  Not that we needed any more indication of the $voodoo$ nature of this confidence game industry...

Hey MQA, if it is not all $voodoo$, show us the math!

Our traffic at stereophile.com this year peaked at 3,051,871 page views for the month of January.

 

Given that you turn every review into 3-5 pages online, I’d expect way more page views. 

 

I expect that is due to rt66indierock not posting as much to our site as he does to yours, Chris.

I apply a light hand to moderation and remove very few posts. In general, I do so when when someone is being abusive. RT66indierock, however, has always been respectful of other posters to Stereophile.com.

Editor, Stereophile

So are you saying you have never removed any of his posts?

As I said, only if he was being abusive. You can find many many many posts at Stereophile.com from rt66indierock criticizing Stereophile, criticizing me, criticizing MQA etc, etc. I don't delete such postings. Why would I?

 

BTW, when I wrote "I expect that is due to rt66indierock not posting as much to our site as he does to yours, Chris," that was intended as humor. My apologies to Brinkman Ship for deluding him into taking it seriously. ?

I don't think John has removed has removed any of my posts even some of the ones that skate very close to a line he drew in the sand on Audio Asylum about MQA topics. I respected his wishes and have not posted public financial information about Bob Stuart on Stereophile's site like I have on The Absolute Sound's site and other places.  

 

Always remember John and I could have dinner anytime starting tomorrow and have an enjoyable evening. We may not talk about audio though.
