I'm sorry to see Listener go. I'm sure the economy has a lot to do with it. I just received a "late renewal" notice from an amateur video magazine that I dropped my subscription on some months ago. I guess they think I will just send them in a check, even though I did not re-subscribe!
I did have a subscription to Listener, but dropped it some months ago. I found the gear they reviewed not especially interesting; and some of the replies to reader letters were just plain hostile and nasty. Yet despite it's "quirks", I know that some folks did enjoy Listener.
Also, now that it appears that Mr. Dudley will be writing for Stereophile; it will be interesting to see if he tones down some of his remarks.
