I'm almost a +1 on the above but for two differences: I am somewhat of a believer in a modified version of "TAS "sell them anything" conspiracy theory", more of a keep the advertisers happy conspiracy theory. I also just received TAS issue #222 but, lucky me, it is my last issue. I will miss some of the music coverage which on occasion can be very worthwhile but no enough to justify resubscribing. Another strike against TAS is that it is one of number of magazines where the price of a subscription renewal is a deal higher than the price of new subscription. -- ralphpnj Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels -> Snatch -> The Transporter -> Transporter 2 (oops) -> Touch 'Last.fm' (http://www.last.fm/user/jazzfann/) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93549 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
