I like many prog rock albums but, why do WHF seem to think our systems need testing all the time? I want to listen to music, not my system...

I assume they mean when you go to demo equipment at a retailer.

I'm not so sure and, these best to test with articles, pop up often.

Starship Trooper from The Yes Album and Genesis' A Trick of the Tail, especially the tracks Mad Man Moon and Entangled.

Don’t think I like any of them.

Don’t think I like any of them.

More people don´t.
I like some of them, or some of their music.

You don’t have to, the great thing about music, is the huge breadth of choice.

Why do publications like WHF, insist on playing Jamiroquai for testing?

Because in the 90s he was considered cool by some people! 🙂

In what way are the forum members and participants responsible for what the redactors of the magazine use for music and equipment testing?
I like the forum, not very keen on the magazine and by consequence on who works there; they talk/write nonsense for the most part.

Pandering to their audience!

Despite the claims, it clearly isn't "all about the music" for many readers of HiFi publications/forums

More pandering to their advertisers, and more to the ones who advertise more given on how some brands are talked about, quantity and ratings.

There was a time when Cadbury chocolate was nice but, now under Mondolez ownership, the cocoa solids content of their milk chocolate, is right on the lower limit at which they can still legally call it chocolate in the UK, just 20%... (I looked-up the ingredients of Dairy Milk)
