I've started this thread in the hope that we have or attract members who browse or buy magazines. I thought it would be good to have a thread to flag up any interesting reviews or articles in any of them, whilst they are still on the shelves to grab. I'm going to try dipping back into magazines now. I used to buy them all the time but lost touch. I then bought electronic subscriptions but my iPad only has 16gb space and storing them for access became impossible.
So many past mags I wish I'd kept. I wish back issues of things like hifi answers and Audiophile would be released electronically. I'd buy loads. Next iPad will have a bigger memory. I just wish Apple didn't rip people off by charging hundreds of pounds fir a fivers worth of memory.
Anyway I digress........ Anyone got an interesting review or article they want to mention?

I’d be up for buying online versions of 80s and 90s mags as well. Somebody’s missing a trick because it would be cheap to do.

My brother subscribes to HiFi News and HiFi+ and of course I get to read them free. The reviews are now meaningless since they do not compare them to anything else in the same price range. It seems everything gets a good review with closing comments, if you are in the market be sure to give these a dem. His subs will be cancelled at the next rebuy date. When it comes to dacs?computer audio all I read are numbers and letters that mean nothing to me.

You will be disappointed if you do pick up current day mags, I would say spend your cash on older ones. Try getting a job lot rather than paying a fiver a shot on EBay. You will get far more from them because they gear is more interesting, the reviews are more critical and there are no computer audio gizmos. Anotonio is right.

I see you have another mags thread, maybe you could amalgamate them.
