As far as the a replacement for Audio's October issue goes, in the early through mid '90's The Absolute Sound (TAS) put out some excellent "Guide to High End Sound" issues. They were really good and the section introductions, such as amplifiers, were very informative and well written. Perhaps if enough of us asked TAS to start the practice again, they might listen. Surely the advertising revenues alone would make the costs worth while.
What's happened to AUDIO magazine????
I am a subscriber to AUDIO and read on Stereophile's web site a while ago that AUDIO was going down. When I received my last (I mean LAST issue) issue I looked for an editorial or obituary . . . none to be found. A manufacturer posted a review that was submitted to AUDIO befoe it "closed down". Does anyone have any answers?
