Different strokes, I guess. I read both mags and find myself skimming past a lot of the regular Stereophile content. I can do without the schmooze-fests disguised as "Industry Update" and the endless reports form audio shows. I don't really need to see another picture of a badly-dressed, overweight white guy standing next to a black box that isn't even plugged in because he's still tweaking it and saying it might see production next year.
And you might love poring over the technical info and graphs, but to me it's just more filler. Do people really buy components from inspecting a graph? I hope not. And I know I can safely skip the babblings of guys like the "Analog Coroner". I'm never going to buy a $100,000 turntable, Mikey, no matter how often you tell me I need one. Just drive a sapphire-tipped stake into the heart of that nonsense and let's be done with it. But he probably gets a $10k kickback every time one of those monsters is sold. Finally, I know these old geezers are writing their columns on a computer using the disability fonts, so I'm sure they get a kick out of knowing the subscribers have to use a magnifying glass to peruse the print edition. I can hear them giggle every time I bump my vision prescription another step closer to coke bottle strength. -- Pale Blue Ego ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pale Blue Ego's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=110 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49614 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
