Stereophile an Absolute Sound are caters to people with a average income of $195K to $225 K and up....
How is that? First. they probably own a home in the $400K & up depending on the down payment. Say $3200+ a month
add Car payments/Food/etc> $1200+. Then go out and spend another 100K on a AUDIO SYSTEM . To high? Really. That's what both rags feature reviews almost every month. If you were put those components together as system. The Dynaco Kit crowd are left for stuff on the back pages. p.s. If one reads between the lines. They can find there own little GEM.
