Demise of "Audio" magazine

You and me both! I read something about it at the Stereophile site about a month ago. Go there and search "previous audio news". I DOUBT ANY OTHER MAGAZINE WILL EVER PUBLISH SUCH A COHERENT AND CONCISE BUYER'S GUIDE of ALL audio products, as did "Audio"...

I'll especially miss it since it recently began their new format. They'll give you Stereo Review's Sound and Vision for the duration of your subscription, or, extend it if you all ready subscribe.

I didn't subscribe, just bought the buyer's guide issue every year. I subscribe to most of the others, though.

At least Audio had the class to offer a replacement magazine, unlike Fi who took my 3 yr. paid subsrciption after their last issue....Its too bad as Audio had its own unique approach which I thought was well done, I will miss them.

The thing that really gripes me is that their new look and change in emphasis was giving us more reviews by people one could have some level of trust in, no longer those who had never reviewed a poorly designed ____ (name any piece of equipment). Now we are going to get a magazine in placeofit that most of us didnt want in the first place.
