Sorry, but I really like TAS. I have been a subscriber since Issue 20, (December 1980) and have never let it lapse. I have even found all of the back issues and now have a complete set.
I love the writing and the expertise of the staff. I have many of the same listening biases as a few of the writers. I have also met quite a few of the contributors over the years, (including HP....R.I.P. Harry).
I find it reads like a novel, not like something like the old Stereo Review scope of magazines.
I still read each one from cover to cover and still find it very interesting even though I could probably never afford a lot of the gear they review. I go into it wanting to learn and usually do even though I'm been around the high-end for many years. Always something new to learn about.
