The Absolute Sound vs Stereophile


I love both mags. Definitely preferred Stereophile while R Harley was there.
I think he’s doing great at AS.
Still I miss his measurements 
and, at the same time, how AS fit in my pocket.

I miss Corey and Wes Phillips from Stereophile.

Happy subscriber to TAS and Stereophile since 1993. Happy subscriber to HiFi News & Record Review and HiFi +  since 2010. Avid reader of Stereo Review and Audio magazines from the mid-80's until publication ceased in the late 1990's. 

I read them while waiting to do something in the bathroom....  I just read on from where I left off the day before. I don't get deep into them now, the authors don't get into any of the detail anyway, just fluffy words. What I do like though, is the new music or rereleased music on offer. I have made some great library additions to these articles.
One assumes you mean while waiting to do a couple of lines of coke.
Really!!!!!!!!!

Stereophile is the only one worth reading, only because of the bench tests, which tell far more than the waffling of most reviewers go on with. And if some of the wafflers here took the time to understand test results instead of the voodoo magic they go on with, these Audiogon pages would also be a better read.


Mid-80's to early 1990's, I enjoyed Car Audio and Car Stereo Review magazines. I forgot those guys?


Happy Listening!
