Great to see all those "Audio" mags. My dad was an electrical engineer and audiophile before the word was coined. We received "Audio Engineering" (its predecessor) and then audio from 1948 or earlier. I subscribed until Audio stopped publishing. Bought Stereo Review but found it not very useful except for ads and some articles. Loved the first ten years of The Absolute Sound, liked International Audio Review, Listener, Sensible Sound, and others. Great to see many beginning to come together in one spot.
All the old issues of Stereo Review are online!!

The infamous Clark amplifier test is January, 1987, if anyone wants to re-live that. I remember reading that when it came out (I was just out of college, but, having worked at an audio shop when I was 14, was already well into the hobby). That was when I began to be aware of how I might be suckered by appearances.
Lots of things to love or hate, but oh, the advertisements!
