Are the online zines killing print mags in audio?

There seem to be more and more onliners and the printers are down to what, two? Stereophile and the Absolute Sound. (Not counting Bound for Sound which you can't get on the newstands). On line ('Gon) certainly killed classified ads in the print mags. I wonder if the mags themselves are doomed. What do you think?

IMO,
web zines are okay, but I really enjoy any journal in print!

6moons has done alright by me. I've bought Zu and Red Wine on Srajan's recommendation and in the process become acquainted with two very good companies and their excellent products. The print mags never did that for me. They seem always to be helping their friends, the big names who didn't really need the help.

Sorry, Tarsando. I responded yesterday but it was not printed.

I'm sure 6moons has friends but they are not the blue chip cotillion crowd courted by the print mags. The friends of 6moons include the likes of me and many small manufacturers. These include the startups and upstarts in our industry not the deep pockets.
