Better magazine, Stereophile or Absolute Sound


Better magazine, Stereophile or Absolute Sound
twilo
Some years ago, both mags had their merits, and I subscribed to both for a long time. If voting today, I'd have to give the clear nod to TAS, although neither mag is exactly free from the influences of its advertisers.
I agree with Sdcampbell. TAS is a better magazine, but had lost a few of its quality characteristics since they switched to the new layout. I never liked listener. Just a preference I guess.

Both Stereophile and TAS are fun to read. Assuming you don't look too much into the advertising side. They both provide good info into the world of high end. They have their problems, but how many reviews would you read without either of these?
