Unwelcome TAS

Unwelcome TAS

I stopped subscribing to The Absolute Sound about 20 years ago. Now I
find someone is sending them to me as a new subscription in my name. I
have received two now, from I know not where. Is anyone else getting them?

Well, yes, but I'm paying for the subscription so I expect to get them :->

I find the magazine entertaining (the only real worth of any "buff" magazine)
and sometimes informative by introducing me to components and recordings that
I might otherwise have missed.

if you have read TAS recently, every review, every issue is just one large
advertisement for products, every thing gets an "excellent for its type"
review...

I see what you mean, Bear. They are STILL doing cable elevators, special
black boxes, green ink and magic. Absolutely fascinating.

You mean that don't elevate your speaker cables? Do you not realize how much
of your music is leaking out onto the floor? Don't you know what you are
missing? Not to mention the mess - all those sticky musical notes....

I ran into trouble when I had to go through the wall and under the
carpet to reach the speakers. Maybe my attitude is all wrong.

Your attitude is fine, but check your altitude.

Shades of James Thurber! Who was it, his aunt, mother? Anyway, in "My Life
& Hard Times" he tells about this mad woman who was certain that if she
didn't keep a light bulb in every socket, that the electricity would leak
out.

Oh yes, Dear Old Aunt Enid. His drawing of her checking the lightsocket is
excellent. I hope the termites haven't gotten to my copy yet.

I figured it out. I had a subscription to TPV, but stopped getting them
and started getting TAS. Later learned that TPV is no more. No explanation.
