I think it is VERY practical as this premise assumes a major change in the magazine and review business, not just applying the idea to TAS or Stereophile without major changes. One that fixes the major problem with High End Audio Magazines and the no comparability or useable value in a product review. How long have John, Wes, and Art been doing this? You actually think if more equipment that real consumers could afford were reviewed each year that advertising revenues wouldn't go up? I can almost guarantee that if something doesn't change, both magazines will be a thing of the past or at a minimum have fewer and fewer subscribers. I don't subscribe to either anymore as they no longer have any value other then bathroom reading. I get the Recommended Components issues a couple months after its out every year for a Dollar at the Flea Market. That issue still has some value as reviewed products are actually rated against their peers. -- iPhone *iPhone* Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Wood Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1, Vandersteen V2W Subwoofer Living Room: Duet, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Kitchen: Squeezebox BOOM Bedroom: Squeezebox BOOM Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Ford Thunderbird: Duet, Mac Mini Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81346 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
