I have bought this on and off since it started; mostly due to an unnatural desire to look at pictures of stuff I can't afford. However, it is almost beyond parody at the moment. I picked up a copy in the railway station and fortunately read it before I paid for it. I know SQ already alluded to this article here: [URL]https://www.audio-forums.com/as-rediect/showthread.php?t=19488&page=5[/URL] but I want to rant. I can't remember exactly what the reviewer said because I resented the idea of paying for what I consider to be bollocks. However, the general gist of the summing-up paragraph of an article on 2 mains regenerators, (PS Audio and Vertex) was: 'The two regenerators will offer very different presentations. One is neither better nor worse than the other and which one suits you will really depend on the system in which you use it, presenting the musical performance as a whole,,,etc.' So now you can use a mains regenerator to 'tune' your system, genius. Now following this 'whole system' approach to it's logical conclusion have we considered how we prepare ourselves to listen to a musical performance? Possibly the type of Sausages you eat before or the apples in your White Lighting might make a perceivable difference to our hearing. Also, have we considered the fabric of the chair we sit on, is soft necessarily better? Would Slazenger Sport improve the odour of the listener and hence their listening enjoyment? I do think cables make a difference, and I do think mains quality contributes to your system, but is this not taking the piss? It is no wonder that the market is on it's arse. Oh and elsewhere in the issue, £425.00 for a fucking Kuzma teak record weight?£"!$ Sweet jesus. Can we start a sticky thread along the lines of Private Eye's 'warballs'? 'HiFi Balls' can include occasional gems from the hifi press.
