Listener magazine defunct ??

They have announced to some of the manufacturers whose equipment the were reviewing or just finished reviewing that this was to be the last issue. It was not the magazines idea, the owners/parent company bailed on them!
Don't shoot me I just the bearer of the bad tidings.

I dug the personality of the magazine, but had little interest in most of the equipment they reviewed. I was (eternally am???) a subscriber and I'll miss their devil-may-care attitude. Listener was Listener, not all things to all people. Actually, they were hardly anything to hardly anybody and it was nice. Hence the disappearance?

Anyway, whatever. Any good suggestions for a replacement mag? Sound and Vision? Audio Video Interiors? Just kidding.

Hmmm, I got 2 issues for my subscription price.Where I grew up,people like this got found in the trunk of a car looking rather the worse for wear,but times change ,not always for the better. JK

I talked with Listener last week and they said that would refund everyones money on their remainding subscription. I agree with bday, I will also miss them but rarely found their reviews helpful.

Their billing system is alive and well. I got a invoice for $ 24.00 this week. I will hold on to it now . Thanks for saving me $ 24.00 I will be sorry to see it go. I know they were a little off , but at least they have fun. When I read Stereophile I have a hard time sifting throught the BS like in the New Issue the review of the Accuphase 85 cd player . The reviewer is makeing lots of excuses for the CD player section of a $ 16,500.00 player. I will be sorry to see Listner go.
