Listener magazine defunct ??

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.

Bound for Sound? Any good? Opinions?

I like BFS ( Bound For Sound ) but would say that Marty's interaction with specific individuals & manufacturers does influence his likes / dislikes. I think that BFS is more honest than many of the other mag's out there, but not to the point that Marty is willing to "cut & gut" a product. Having said that, BFS is willing to at least make you aware of the shortcomings of the products that they do review. Sean

PS... BFS is strictly a "flyer" type leaflet and not a glossy type rag. Don't expect glossy pic's or ANY form of advertising. If you like to drool over the latest and greatest, you'll have to keep your sub to TAS, Stereophile, etc..

I had thought that Listener was the publication of a regional audio society, perhaps out of New York. Is this correct?

I've been subscribing mainly because I miss the days when TAS was a real journal and Listener seemed to be striving to recreate that. That said, I'm worred about the direction that TAS and Stereophile are headed.

OTOH we have online journals like enjoy the music, soundstage, audiophilia, etc, working on filling the gap.

Someone got an e-mail from Englander Publishing that they would substitute an "audiophile" magazine for issues remaining on subscriptions. At that point, they weren't more specific on the exact title--I hope it's "Attainable Audio" myself.
