Started using a BAT VK-33SE a few years ago. Paired with the BAT VK-255SE, the resolution is just staggering,  
100's of free Absolute Sound and Stereophile mags
Does anyone else feel Stereophile and TAS should publish volumes containing past (by decade, etc.) music reviews? I regularly dispose of stacks of these mags when they get too high and wish I could save the music reviews.
