LISTENER Magazine...What Do You Think?


Would like to find out what other Audiogon members think
about this magazine. Do you find it a bit quirky?
I started a one year subscription about a year ago. And
while I do enjoy some of the articles and reviews; there
are some items that leave me wondering why I bother to read
it at all. There are reviews of equipment I've never heard
of; and that no local dealer carries. Also, in the latest
"Letters" section there is a letter from a reader that
questions a past review; and the "Reply" is one of the
nastiest and most hostile I've ever seen in any publication.

I've subscribed for a good couple of years and still like it- however, it has been on a downward slide for quite a while now. There are still some flashes of brilliance but there is more and more that is less and less. I think that Art Dudley sold the mag about a year or so ago and that may explain some of the more recent failings.
But I did buy a Fi preamp based on the review and have been very happy with it. No one else reviewed Fi stuff so I'm glad that Listener did.
I still think it is worthwhile even though what is worthwhile is harder and harder to find.
