    Reasons for buying AVSA

    You guys serious about improving AVSA, then take a very, very careful look at "ToneAudio", no need to try copy it, and loose your obssession with Stereophile. The "I wanna be a weenie type" that derided my "20" year old, Musical Fidelity amps, they still effortlessly beat more than 80% of the...

    Tell you "dealer" to half your dose, then go out and buy four six foot planks 6 inches high, build yourself a box, but it on the back lawn, fill it with sand and go play ...

    Just as I find no worthwhile reason to subscribe to Stereophile, I have even less reason to do so, to AVSA. Part of the problem, is they have made their "audience" they are targeting way too broad, i.e. if I am lucky, damn lucky there will be 3 articles in a copy once every six months or so, I...

    Reasons for buying AVSA

    Yes I do, but only on occasion, that there is content that is of interest to myself, but magazines off late, contain too many "promotional" articles, which at first glance appear to be "reviews" and an over abundance of colorful, meaning less adverts, and the genuine reviews are piss poor, on...

    Reasons for buying AVSA

    If I want to know what something costs, I call my dealer, so I don't get "estimated" prices, yeah, I know what a "Recommended Retail Price is, and what it is worth ), and if there are no local dealers, buying direct from the manufacturer, has proven to be faster, cheaper, and an all round better...

    Oh, I get to see the odd Stereophile, (I know someone who subscribes to it), it is a far superior journal than AVSA, (maybe because AVSA wants to do the impossible- please everybody) but as with most hi-fi/sound/music magazines, they don't seem to take folks who use serious (exception - Wes...

    Glad someone finds it worthwhile reading, I find a copy once, in awhile, with an article, that gets me to buy a copy, but even then, it is not worth the cover price ...

    Vinyl is compressed

    Red Book, why no, not at all, but squarely at the Music companies who insist on recording CD "HOT", compressing it all to hell and gone, then cry crocodile tears that nobody is buying their output, when will they get a wake-up call and realise that the drop in sales of CD's is due solely to...

    Vinyl is compressed

    At least phonostages have "DE-COMPRESSORS" i.e. with an RIAA curve, which is fairly well standardized and adhered to, I have yet to find a CD player capable of "DE-COMPRESSING" every wannabe music engineer's idea of what acceptable and or useful compression is, especially these days, when the so...
