Anything over $5 is a ripoff for Stereophile or TAS. These magazines are a voice of the manufacturer and always praises the product under review as the best of the best.
BTW: I paid $5 a year for Stereophile so I bought 5 years worth, then I will cancel.
I pay < $10 a year for HIFI+ which I think is far better than Stereophile or TAS
