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 reviewed the Infinity Primus 363 speaker in February this year.  That speaker is selling for $115.00 each on Amazon as of this writing.  I bought four of them at $99.00 each earlier this year on Amazon.  Free delivery too.  

So, periodically, they do have stuff in there that Ordinary Joe can buy.

I read Stereophile and TAS, but I take most of it with a grain of salt. The magazines are so cheap these days- about a buck an issue- it's a guilty pleasure 

I figure that if I wind up getting one album a year through their recommendations that I like, it was worth the cost

Is Dick Olsher still reviewing in TAS? He was the only contributor I liked, after he left Stereophile. Dick is very much from the Gordon Holt school.
