Of course, economies of scale aside, you may learn something from
Mikey's DVD (if you are interested in the subject) which is more than
one can say about LOTR.



All of the "true hobbyist" magazines seem to be dead and gone. And the
'borgs continually whine about how expensive DIY materials are. Perhaps we
need the government to step in with a hifi tax that will fund an unbiased,
technical, objectivist magazine. Published by the GPO, of course, so
there's no whiff of profit motive to compromise the impartiality.


Not at all George. - What we need is a new and even more subjective
magazine in which all the techies who know anything about how the
components work (all the round earth folks) are eliminated, leaving only
the flat earth, voodo-magic subjectionists. Anyone who knows anything
about ohms law, for example, has no business reviewing high-end audio
equipment. - He obviously could never appreciate how the equipment
actually sounds.

Right George?

Jim


Sorry for butting in, but why would knowledge of Ohms law be a
requirement for telling people how a thing sounds?
