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

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.

I subscribed from age 12 to age 16...it was like a gateway drug.  Now I'm strung out on high end.

They never told you starting out on Stereo Review leads to the hard stuff like The Absolute Sound and Positive Feedback. Too late now! 😩

I always found Stereoplay and Audio, both German, to be more informative and simply a better read than magazines from the U.S.A. British ones somehow appeared snotty.

Are you sure? I’m pretty sure they’re Swedish.
