Well, At one time I subscribed to both. I was tired of the always kind reviews and stopped subscribing to either. I recently returned to Stereophile (cost) and not much has changed. I must admit that I do anticipate the "recommended Components" issue of Stereophile. The Letter to the editor posts have not changed much either. Maybe I'm the one that has changed. Nonetheless, I will continue reading and subscribing to Stereophile, and Absolute Sound. As always I appreciate your feedback
