Serinus in last S'phile
The owner comes to his house to set them up.
He spend the next 8 paragraphs on what to put under the amp.
If the owner won't come to your house, perhaps we could just listen to the footings.

He's doing the "subjective reviewing as a madeleine" routine J Skull used to be so good at. It's lifestyle reviewing. You have to dig the vibe. If you don't, it has the reverse effect of making "footing" the last word you ever want to hear about again.
I try to give it a go. It's kind of the audiophile version of "the suck" in the military. One is supposed to be beguiled the devices are actually suffering because a screw had been accidentally not replaced on the top-plate.
Play Queen's "I'm in love with my car" and get over it, I say to myself.

  the more they cost, the more he loves them. Don't understand why they keep doing it, just a waste of magazine space to be reviewing a $50,000+ amplifier (!) every issue. If you're going to review $50K items, why not speakers at least? Or some kind of exotic single ended monster amp like the Kronzilla? At least they are interesting and very different sounding. How many people spend $50K+ on a (solid state) amp or preamp anyway? Ridiculous.

  - Market boundaries must be guarded - farfetched 13:42:30 01/07/25 (0)
    Stereophile exists to defend the right of a stereo component to cost 5-6 figures, to guard that numerical goalpost against any sensible thinking and skepticism.
    I don't get why Stereophile exists today however. The reviewer-manufacturer-dealer power trio is long dead. What market power does it have anymore? Or is it just defending 5-6 figure audio components out of some principle?

I have the magazine and tried plowing through the review several times, instead skipping paragraphs because of the stand issue, and by then it just felt like the whole article meandered.
