In Reply to: Getting your magazines mixed up? posted by John Atkinson on October 1, 2005 at 04:00:30:
I gave up any hope for TAS a couple of years back. Stereophiles non-critical coverage of the iPod, computer cards and vintage audio recievers, not to mention the creation and convenience of the diversity of the recommended components lists especially the lower class ratings, are just examples of the magazine reaching out for larger audiences at the expense of 2 channel audio purist.What were once magazines for the specialist 2 channel audiophile are now magazines crafted at the mass market, in fact, the sound first hobbiest focus was abandoned long ago in favor of marketing to one time buying consumers with more money than they know what to do with.
Give me rhythm or give me death!
