Whether it makes financial sense or not, it's my preference to buy
selected issues of certain consumer audio magazines rather than
subscribe to them. I live within easy walking distance of a Barnes &
Nobles bookstore, so its easy for me to browse them before I buy.

Please explain. AFAIK the consensus points at a time that coincides
with the charter issue of TAS.

Substitute "Stereophile" and you might be right.

"Speaking as a charter subscriber to both magazines, I don't think so.

Weil, could you have even read the charter issue of Stereophile when
it first came out, let alone been allowed to have enough money to
subscribe to it without an adult's involvement?"

The youngest of the two magazines I was a charter subscriber to, The
Absolute Sound was founded in 1973. It should be no surprise to anybody,
that in 30 years, I have changed my preferences vis-a-vis audio magazine
subscriptions.
