In Reply to: Hey TAS: Sick of affordable gear (and, no, I'm not wealthy). posted by shamburg on September 28, 2005 at 16:09:10:
The actions all at the WalMart and the magazines know it. AFAIK the shit iPod and some PC cards ar on everyones recommended components list already. I saw a review of some old reciever in one of the zines recently - and then got a chuckle out of the follow-up posts here on AA about how the thing was gods gift to humanity. Pioneer SuperTuner IV - come on guys who's gonna review this - or how about resurrecting Hitachi's ambisonic recievers that looked so cool on the shelves of fedmart. What about under $30 clock radios - come on people just think of all the potential advertising dollars.Jim Austin and Stereophile have convinced me high end audio is more hypocritical and more of a fantasy than a GSIC chip. I'm not reviewing my Stereophile subscribtion when it runs out and am going to rely exclusively on a couple of internet audio/tweekers and audio dealer websites to get my fix.
The damn stinking Music Direct and Acoustic Sounds catalogs are lot's better than any magazine (including that UK sleeze HiFi+) and they come for freeking free.
Give me rhythm or give me death!
