what's your opinion on the magazine 'stereo review'??

6 Mooons! LOL! That's some real audio porn! I get my fix from reading IAR and Sound Practices. Plus Glass Audio and Vacuum Tube Valley! All, alas, sadly defunct.

I share @roberjerman's high opinion of the four publications he named, as well as Art Dudley's Listener magazine. Of the newsstand mags, Audio was my fave: a good blend of "objective" and "subjective".

You got something against porn? You probably just read the articles. 😬 I knew the guy who ran Audio a little bit. He was a nice guy. 

HiFi News and Record Review -- Yeah!  I ran across it one evening while cruising a newsstand near where I lived.  Superb, subjective reviews of both classical LPs and hardware.  Loved Ken Kessler.  Not much later, I became buddies with Kevin Conklin, a regular customer at the classical records department where I worked at the time.  Kevin turned me on to The Absolute Sound.  Later, of course, he started writing for Harry Pearson's rag.

I also read Stereo Review in the 70s. I got married & started farming in 1978. The first load of corn I sold that fall went to purchase a new Sansui AU & TU 717.   Stereo Review had highly recommenced them.
