Got home tonight and...

[JoelSim]

There are 3 hifi mags on my mat.

It's like Christmas! Bring it on.

Bet you daren`t mention the other two ;-)

Considering your recent experiences, I expected to read something like, "Got home tonight and... found hifi had been struck by freak meteorite. Insurance company refuse to even talk to me this time."

Yes I will, they are HFN and HFC, and they both have smaller circulations than the market leader in this sector.

To be honest I'm also considering a subscription to HF+ too (which also has a much much much smaller circulation and target audience than the market leader).

which of the others do you rate the best?

My favourite hi-fi magazine is the one Joel doesn't mention.

My excuse is its a damn good mag.

I should add that I have bought a few WHF's and a couple of Ultimate Guides in the last year.

(Before I get slung out for disloyalty!)

True.

(Oh and some 'Gramophone' issues too. I like free classical disks and the equipment reviews are better. AE doing his stuff.)

Toady !

 

[Andrew Everard]

No, not Toady - Chebby...

 

[chebby]

Gribbit!

No really. Gramophone equipment reviews always seem to give of an air of wingback leather armchairs and a nice glass of Port. You get the feeling they are trying this stuff at home with a crackling fire, in a panelled library, with a labrador, and shelves groaning with rare 1st editions!*

Some reviews in other mags have seemed a bit like the labrador drank the port and wrote them instead

*This is why I was suprised at Gramophone reviewing the Neat Motive 2's. You can't rest a pile of 1st editions on them easily.

Although of course wingback chairs play merry havoc with stereo imaging and soundstaging. But one of these comes in handy when reviewing open-back headphones...

Suffice it to say that my favourite magazines are the ones that take me longest to read, those that have the most features on hifi.

this is true I just have a hard time paying 14 buck here in Canada for this one and one other British magazine. Thats 14 a piece btw.
