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

About 250,000 Ferraris and Lambos ever made, estimate 50% still on road = 125,000 but average owner actually has 2, so perhaps 62,500 current owners.  Total current audience of all those magazine is ~ 20 million. Let's be generous and say 1/2 of owners are regular readers = (1-31,250 / 20,000,000) * 100 = 99.84% .... sorry for my mistake, I will better account for that 0.06% next time :-)

I hate to be judgmental but you’re not very good with jokes, either. Tee hee 🤗

To teaudio’s point, 99.9% of people who read Car and Driver, Motor Trend or Road & Track will every own a Ferrari or a Lamborghini or McClaren, but that is what people want to read about.

@inna you must not know anyone in Brooklyn then. The bars are overflowing.

I thought he implied he was not good with flying. Where was the joke? I am not good at getting them.

This hobby is not a need. It is an inspirational(albeit that some take to seriously) hobby for sure. And reading about good sound is inspirational to me.
I think of good art(it can be very expensive). We don’t need it but it can be most inspirational in difficult times.
I think I see where Erik is coming from and appreciate there are more important things to attend to. I also think because of that we need more inspiration. A nice word salad on audio gear sounds good to me in these times.
