Latest Absolute Sound

I just got it yesterday and they are reviewing amps from 12k to 97k. I sat back and thought who is really buying this stuff. I know the average audiophile Isn't and the one's that actual have the money are always looking for deals via Audiogon. Is this just audio porn for the readers or are people actually buying this stuff.

The Absolute Sound was good when the magazine was small size in the 70's and 80's.

Then they reviewed gear at all price ranges.

Went to pot when the size increased, and HP sold out, after it nearly went under.

Taters....I was at my Porsche dealer last week and noticed (not one) but two hybrid models that are more than 1 million dollars each being serviced...I wonder how much an oil change is on those. Some people have the means....

Oregonpapa,

i know a dealer that will give you 20 percent off without negotiating. I am sure if someone is serious he will give you another 10 percent just to close the deal.
