TAS just gets older and older…it’s amazing how cars and watch hobbies are the opposite.

Re: Michael Fremer joins TAS
I get both magazines so it doesn't matter which of the two he writes for. In any case I pass on his articles on vinyl gear and only read the ones relating to amps and pre-amps that catch my interest. Good luck to him

Re: Michael Fremer joins TAS
I also get both magazines. Generally, I read everything, even the ads. Just because a subject is in either magazine doesn't mean I am going to buy it. Or even contemplate buying it.

When I created the special forum for the magazines to post LINKS to their reviews and perhaps even interact with subscribers (a great suggestion from Jeff at SoundStage), everyone was pleased and thanked me for doing so….except Stereophile….their response was, shall we say, not enthusiastic.
Old habits and old ways die hard I guess.
