Opinions - The Absolute Sound

It might be worth reading for a year. Just don't take it as seriously as they take themselves. It used to be better, and may be "total crap", but you do get a glimpse of whats new, and what they want to create buzz about. I for one miss the adolescent feud TAS had with Stereophile. Pompous blowhards slinging feces at each other about stuff nobody cares about is funny.
I like the look of hifi+, and even remember a negative review here and there. I like the Brit rags, but dont really read anything that's not online any more. Still take every review with a grain of salt, or Pepto-Bismol.

I'm not embarrassed to say I looked up "tautological". I would advise you guys take a chill-pill, but it is evident you both enjoy the exchange.
Lets just say, if you get the subscription, be aware that the reviews may be bias and many think TAS is rubbish. That is not reason for you to not draw your own conclusions as to the validity of content and entertainment value. Order the damn thing, its cheap.
