What are some good magazines to pick up. I have VTV, Sound Practices, just ordered Audio Critic and Audiocraft in on my wish list. Just curious what others find valuable......Colin

I felt the same way about audioXpress; they all went away. However, VTV and SP are really well written and informative. As far as the more mainstream rags went (i.e., Audio, Stereo Review, Stereophile) they went in the trash within a couple days of receipt.

I purchased another set of the available issues of "The Audio Critic." IMHO Peter Aczel is perhaps the only member of the audio press, along with his contributors, who isn't a shill of high end audio advertising. His articles are more important for editorial insight, than product review. He does have the respect of acedemics who probably scoff at the typical rags. As he is eighty years old, I wonder how much longer he will continue to write.

The internet has changed everything, IMO. I sent my money to Sound Practices and they folded. I sent my money to Audiomart and they folded. I sent my money to Audio and they folded (but I got some other mag instead) WOW! I think they just can't "produce" and compete with the free info on the web. Just my thoughts. But I have a lot of old Audio, Stereophile, Glass Audio, etc. that I enjoy reviewing from time to time. jim...
