The US and UK magazines have good writers. I enjoy Herb Reichert's column in Stereophile. Understanding neither German nor Japanese I can't comment upon their magazines.
Does the Audio press ever excite you anymore?
Just wondering if anyone has read any news article lately (please link!) they felt was actually exciting or compelling, even better if it was related to how you listen or a product you were personally interested in.
For myself, I have been much more excited about big flat screen TV's than anything in the audio press for the past couple of years.
