STEREOPHILE Very comprehensive reviews. Great bi-yearly recommended component issues.

Stereophile, and TAS second. But Sphl isn't as good as it was from '95 to '99. I like the reviews and especially the industry reports, and I love to read Michael Fremer's "Analog Corner".

I agree with the above posts, except I don't read MFs column.

Yea Carl,I love analog corner also but I think he gets a little carried and overly enthusiastic on some of the stuff he recommends.An example is the Lehmann Black Cube.I had one for over a year and it was good but the Musical Fidelity X-LP was as good.I had one of those before the Cube.Lots of politics in Stereophile.

If you're really into music,not just hi-fi per se,TAS is the only choice. Well written articles on a variety of subjects,and the record reviews alone are worth the subscription price. What good is great sounding stereo gear without great sounding recordings? Yeah,they're opinionated,but if you read it with an open mind,I guarantee you'll learn something,and not just about equipment.The new format is fabulous,too-go for it.
