got tired of Stereophile yrs ago, went back to absolute sound (seems it was better way back when, anyway) not bad, but looking for suggestions on what you are reading- thx
Not to derail but along the same content. I was reviewing the new flyer from PE and I can't believe the crap they publish on these project builds. The frequency response on one of them was +-10dp. <Rant Done>
Ill second Old School. I think I was next to Ben when they were being played at the Meniscus get together. They started playing then seemingly all at once everyone started paying attention. I think its safe to say they outperfomed expectations.
I'll 3rd Old Skool. I was amazed too. Really makes you think.
Currently down to zero magazines. I was one of the original readers of The Absolute Sound, Stereophile, and Audio Amateur going back to the 70's. I have back issues of Audio Amateur going all the way back to 1970. Only missing a couple years of back issues (1974), 1978). I have all the Speaker Builder mags from 1980 to 2000. I have Audio Express from 2001 to about the time that Ed Dell sold the magazine. After that, I let my Audio Express subscription lapse. I liked these mags better back in the old days, they now seem a little bit too commercial for my taste. That is why I now prefer to build my own speakers and pretty much stay away from high end audio. Just too pricy for me. I really miss companies like Heathkit, SWTP, EICO, Dynaco, etc.
I know Bill would never mention it himself but he’s been featured in I believe Speaker Builder back in the late 70s or early 80s. Honored to rub elbows with him and all the DIY talent around here.
