If you are an audiophile, this is DEFINITELY, not probably, DEFINITELY, going to be the best $29.95 you will spend. At last, I found a magazine that attempts to put some science into audio.

Needless to say: highly recommended.
I subscribed to stereophile for a year, and then cancelled my subscription there (they still keep sending me issues and i still keep trashing them), and then went in search of a magazine I liked.

I now subscribe to
a) the audiocritic (got the back issues first, and happily sent my forward subscription as well) and
b) the sensible sound (www.sensiblesound.com).

REcommend both these mags, but again, the back issues of the audiocritic are MUST have items for any audiophile.
Enjoy!
