A Stereophile Magazine é uma publicação mensal americana voltada ao segmento hi-end.
A revista realiza testes mensais com vários equipamentos, e publica as avaliações completas em suas páginas. Semestralmente, a Stereophile apresenta uma lista com os equipamentos recomendados, e apresenta um resumo da avaliação.
Os equipamentos são classificados em várias classes, partindo da classe mais alta “A+” até as demais. Mas, todos os equipamentos são altamente recomendados, mesmo aqueles classificados em classes inferiores.
Esta lista é um instrumento para ajudar em suas escolhas, mas não deve substituir a avaliação pessoal, já que muitos outros fatores influenciam o gosto individual. Além disso, muitas publicações elaboram as avaliações segundo alguns interesses, inclusive comerciais de seus anunciantes.
A publicação desta lista é feita com a autorização da editora, para uso exclusivo do Hi-Fi Planet. Não é permitida a reprodução deste conteúdo sem a autorização prévia da editora ou de seus advogados procuradores no Brasil, sob o risco de violação de direitos autorais, conforme legislação vigente.
A Stereophile é vendida para o Brasil, sendo necessário apenas possuir um cartão de crédito internacional. A vantagem é que o preço da assinatura de 12 edições, já com o custo da entrega em sua casa, costuma sair praticamente pelo mesmo preço de uma ou duas edições vendidas em banca no Brasil, quando é possível encontrá-la.
