You took a single phrase, "megabuck gear", and made that the thrust of all I had to say. In fact it wasn't my main point at all. My point was that hobbyiest roots of building and modding gear are pretty much non-existent in your magazine. I even stated there may be good reasons for Stereophile's not covering the hobbyist/DIY end of audio, and yes I was hoping for some further explanation about that.Yes, I see my mistake now in using the phrase "megabuck gear". It implies luxury and non-affordablity. You've nailed me on that with 5 paragraphs of rebuttal. I concede the point.
What's also awkward for me is the personal tone you set with your final comment, which begins "Your problem is...". Why is it necessary to make ad hominem remarks?
It's getting very difficult in this forum to have a friendly interchange of ideas and opinions. So I give up. You win. Good bye and good luck.
