It's nice to have the tremendous amount of information on the web unfortunately you can't take it into the john to read. We need to keep these print media working. AudioeXpress serves a great function in bringing all aspects and skill levels pertaining to our thing together in one pakage. V.T.V., by virtue of existing in a permanent print media stands to provide the most comprehensive bible of tube electronics ever produced. The fact that they choose to comitt to print establishes their integrity since all facts are hanging right there in the open for all to challenge as they wish. I for one feel comfortable acting on information obtained in there and the deep comittment to thorough and accurate tube data provides all of us with valuable and exhaustive tools with which to learn and design.
So keep up the good work all you print guys. J.R.
The audio rags are great picture books.( Once read in A.S. That an amp had "Caramel Colorations", damn I wish I had thought of that. My amp has butter pecan colorations.)

The web is a great way to share information, but there are two major problems when compared to print: The first is the question of longevity. Web information is not permanent. How many times have you bookmarked a site only to come back at a later date and find the link no longer exists? Essentially this information is gone and can no longer be retrieved. The second, and more important in terms of information credibility, is the process of peer review. I assume (insert comments here) that when I read a printed article the manuscript was reviewed and edited for technical correctness before being published. This is almost never the case in virtual world.

For lost links or expired websites or items withdrawn for
various reasons, go to The Wayback Machine. It's maintained
by the American Library Association and it's pretty big.
Check it out.
