TAS. The Absolute Sound?

I guess i am old too, well 66. Big learning curve. I am probably more causal, like once a week but you know if busy doing stuff around the house the JBL blue tooth has made me cry a bit, grabbed my heart. Enjoy.   

@jbmac75 .  Love it. Music that is. Right on! And other superlatives...

TAS and Stereophile, as well as many of the online only review sites have reduced themselves to audiophile porn.  Highlighting that which is only attainable by a wealthy few, leaving those of us for whom it is unattainable drooling

I can't speak for TAS, which I don't follow closely, but as for Stereophile, you might be overstating this just a bit.

In the last few years, Stereophile has reviewed the Apple AirPods Pro II, SVS' Prime Pro II speakers, the Naim Muso 2 wireless, the LSA VT-70 integrated amp, Topping's Pre90 preamp, several Schiit components (I recall the Aegir and the Freya +), the Cambridge Audio CXA81, and much more.

Are these "attainable only by a wealthy few"? Nah. Most products I just mentioned are a thousand dollars or less. The AirPods are $249!

The reviews of hyper-expensive audio products probably receive the most online buzz, but I don't think that's something Stereophile controls.

TAS was HP … 

There is nothing wrong with a 6K power cord. I hope he has recovered from this "calling out".
