I kept my Audio, IAR and Listener mags. Threw out the High Fidelity and did not trust Stereo Review. I prefer the narratives of Absolute Sound to Stereophile although I like several writers of both mags (including the recently deceased Art Dudley). I read more on-line articles now from Positive Feedback, Enjoy the Music, The Audiobeat, Soundstage Ultra and AnalogPlanet. I maybe reading too much audio related stuff but I listen to music 1.5 hours or more every evening and 4+ hours on weekends. For 20 years I read Fanfare mag which is 100% music reviews. I also read International Record&Piano Review, Opera News & Grammaphone occasionally, I often read while listening to music as well.
As to cabling preferences, I began that journey in the 1970s with Audiosource cables which were superior to both zip cord/RCA and Monster. Since 2000, I've used GroverHuffman.com cables and am the beta tester (I still pay for the cables, the design/labor is 90% of the cost). The best system(s) I've every heard used MasterBuilt cabling which is possibly the most expensive. I'm planning to upgrade my speakers b$35,000-$50,000, not the cabling.
