All the old issues of Stereo Review are online!!

Music reviews and ads, okay. Editorial content especially technicals, no way. Stereo Review and Julian Hirsch pushing their wire doesn't matter and if you can't measure it it doesn't exist point of view did real audiophile damage we are still dealing with today.

I had a sub for years. Darn near ruined me. Took me years to realize just how wrong he was. Now with it on-line they get to misinform a whole new generation. Wonderful.

^^^ Right, millercarbon ...

Julian Hirsch was a fraud. But the ads and vintage equipment is nostalgia for me. :-)

I don’t think Julian Hirsch was a fraud. What he said, that amps that measure the same generally sound the same is more true than false. Especially 40 years ago. Besides, most high end amp designers today don’t think wire matters. No big deal,

wow oh wow! excellent

@geoffkait  yes, he was more right than wrong, but I'm happy to review any evidence I may have missed.  And one look at the internal wiring of speakers and amps will unveil what economists call "revealed preferences" about wire.  If anything, the vendors of kilobuck cables have done far, far more to damage the growth of the hobby with their ridiculous prices and "emperors new clothes" exclusivity.
