what's your opinion on the magazine 'stereo review'??

It was my introduction to hi-fi, I read it religiously. I think technically it is still around, they renamed it to Sound and Vision.

This site has links to copies of nearly all issues.

Read all of the magazines, and enjoyed them all, for different and various reasons. I liked the Rodriguez cartoons.

Thanks mikey99 for the links.  Brings back my childhood.  Used to read it in middle school. hoping one day to own a nice system.

Before the internet, Stereo Review was THE source for audio information. I looked forward to every issue. I loved the music reviews, cartoon illustrations and reading about the latest equipment. When I was fifteen and after nearly 3-years of delivering newspapers, mowing lawns, raking leaves and shoveling snow...I bought the Pioneer SX 939 with a pair of BIC Formula 6 speakers from Stereo Corporation of America in Brooklyn, NY. I was thrilled beyond words when it finally arrived. Music in stereo...nothing like it.
