In the middle of a pandemic, Stereophile reviews ~ $30K equipment

If you look at the demographics of those who have lost jobs due to the pandemic, it was largely those who would have been running a budget audio system - not those purchasing $30K components.  

I would rather read about a $30k piece than a $500 piece. Look at the car mags, a new manufacturer is selling his new car creation For $2.5M, only 100 will be built. Every car mag has Porsche’s for $100k to $300k, Ferrari’s and Mclaren’s for hundreds of thousands, again I would read these articles instead a Honda Civic review 

The reviews are for the most part scheduled months in advance likely pre-pandemic and I believe Stereophile's policy is a review started must be completed. So perhaps calm down about it.

Awesome.

Nice.

Set myself goal to buy one this fall.

KIDDING!

True, but at least Car and Driver actually has models I might buy in addition to super cars I will not.

There’s a big big spread between a $500 component and $30,000, and plenty of great sounding gear that is ~ $3k to $6k.
