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.

I guess the audio rags are like politics, they represent favorably those who give them the most money. As far as TAS.... well they're not as bad as Stereophile.

It's fine to review aspirational products.

The review SHOULD include a valid listening test to determine if product 65k really sounds better than say.. product 2k.  Or if it has some other useful features - e.g. a lifetime warranty, or a history repairing everything they ever made - even back in 1968.

not that you can find such reviews in print or online...

oh BTW, roosfa - I doubt if Trump reads that or anything else - now, if they put it on TV he'd watch it and then Tweet

Can someone post one of these TAS letters? My curiosity is piqued.

Wouldn't $1000 systems for everybody be a good thing? Not as an "entitlement" but as a benefit of taxation?
