Mceljo, If you are interested in music also, and not just gear, you might check out HiFi+, which offers not only better pictures than TAS but also better music reviews by far, and finally a flavor for what the Brits are up to. The subscription costs of TAS and Stereophile are so cheap, the decision really becomes do you enjoy reading about new equipment and, if so, just order them. If you have philosophical differences with the reviewers and/or advertisements then don't buy them and read Soundstage!, Dagogo, Positive Feedback Online, Enjoy the Music, etc. etc. etc. on line for free.
Tvad, no such thing as one dollar meal. Sort of like audio magazines. You buy one and you want another...pretty soon every day....then finally you are hooked and you can forget that 100 miles a week on your bike. Just say no :?)
