If anybody else (besides me) missed the IEC standard replacement articles, they're available now. My head hurts.

FWIW.

Part I

AX used to be more diy and less tech...especially in the "Glass Audio" days. The new editor is pushing it toward tech. That is fine if that's where they want to go....I previously had published 10 diy articles in AX. Last month I pulled what would be the 11th. They wanted a lot of changes to make it more techie. They seemed to want it aimed toward engineers and designers. It would no longer be what I would consider a diy article. IMO the diy community has different tastes and desires than the highly tech folks. Both are fine, just it seems that one more venue for diy has gone away. A sign of the times as it seems that diy is slowly being replaced by plug and play and esoteric design stuff. Both are extremes but I wonder if perhaps the general population is going to regret losing the ability to understand how things work which IMO is a big portion of what diy is about.



Good Listening

I've read that a local for me Glass alumni Bruce Rozenblit showcased his projects there back in the 90's. Seems like that magazine maybe "was" a springboard for enterprising entrepreneurs to dip their toes into before entering a higher challenge of the marketplace. Spawning the two Bruce's to make a go of it.
Most people and certainly me are curious observers to this technical discipline. But not having the fortitude to explore much further than, I can follow that plan and do it myself. Which for me and certainly others has been a nice rewarding means to an ends. Learning a little and great sound at bargain prices. It is then for me too sad that the magazine may be moving away from allowing a layman's approach section to a full very narrow peer discipline format. It's interesting to see all the developments going on in the audio field they show. But they could lighten it up a little for everyday Joes to check out something possible for them to try and copy. They might draw more revenue too.

I feel bad but have not been a subscriber or kept-up for years. As a guy who used to live for those TAA/GA/SB/aX issues to come-out and not sleep much the night they arrived, I'm saddened to hear that. Never met Ed, but my sense is he'd both be saddened and also adapt to find a way to keep a pilot light on for DIY'ers. World keeps moving (but it didn't seem to make my head hurt as much back then).
