In short, nothing has changed for better or for worse in almost 70 years and in our world 'entropy' is the only certainty.
From page 3:
"The Reader's Forum will appear for
the first time. There will be plenty of
space for you to air your views and
comments, and to toss in a hand
grenade or brickbat if you choose. The names of the writers will be published, so that everyone will know who said
what."
Among other gems (page 9):
"THE FORUM: Here's the place to sound off about sound ... about music ... about whatever is on your mind ... about high fidelity or HIGH- FIDELITY. Here's the place to pass along to
other audio -philes Our thoughts and suggestions on records, music, broadcasting, and, of course, audio. Whether
there's something that should be done, or shouldn't,
or if you just want to start an argument, The Forum is the
place where you can make your ideas known to the largest
group of audio enthusiasts gathered into the readership
of any magazine."
And on page 8, "AS THE EDITOR SEES IT" whereby an 'audio-phile' is defined in print.
