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.

Off topic but venting anywAy... A few nights ago I was with a woman (just a friend) out for an evening in my used 2010 911 targa 4S. (Only true sports car with 4 seats and a hatchback I know of) though she’s been in the in car sevral times before, I kept hearing from her the whole night over and over how uncomfortable she felt in a flashy car (it’s black and not at all flashy in my opinion) and out of place it was driving around some night spots in Brooklyn and that she thought everyone would be Looking at us. She also hated the feeling of even mild acceleration, though I was driving quite tamely (for me).

I told her next time she’s taking the train or staying home.

Although I laugh at Bose I think the car’s system sounds decent. I would love to hear (and have the money) for a new one with the Burmeister.


Either she is not happy that she is not in a relationship with you(using reverse psychology to rationalise) or she can't appreciate the finer things in life like your car and most likely the audio too.......
TAS is an empty shell of its former incarnation.  If you go by reviews you will be in for a long and winding dead end road.  You may get lucky...but mostly you will end up disillusioned!  

FYI, you don't need The Klimt to get enjoyable sound...for $35k you should get the BSO IN YOUR HOUSE!  Just saying, we audiophiles often pay way more for gear than what it delivers.  All depends on expectations and what we expect for our $$
