Stereophile or Absolute Sound

I am dead serious Mrt.

No humor intended.

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!

I've subscribed to both over the years. Currently, I'm only subscribing to Stereophile. I do enjoy "Sam's Space". Yes - I know he shills for way to many products - but he's an entertaining read most of the time. I suspect I will give TAS a try as I'm on the upgrade path again after moving up to some nice JM Lab Be speakers recently.
