Stereophile or Absolute Sound


I have subscribed to both in the past. Maybe it's just me but now I almost cannot tell the difference. Which do you prefer and why.

Stereophile. I dislike TAS - too snobby and shallow. But Hifi+ is my favorite.

Gradual shrinkage at Stereophile, though I suppose you get what you pay for. Recommended Components is a big joke full of grade inflation and industry log rolling. However Fremer is always worth following. TAS has more meat & elegance, and more & better music reviews. These days the webzines hold the most interest.
I miss Listener, in that they followed one of the most important tenets of Hifi review editing...

Don't take yourself too seriously.

My vote for a currently circulating pub. though would be Hifi+, I'm afraid.

Happy Listening!
