Yup, my goal is eventually to have every Stereophile review dating back to 1962, the year of the magazine's founding, available on this website. Why would anyone have a problem with that?
John Atkinson
Editor, Stereophile
For me some of those products, long forgotten, take me back to when I first started becoming an audiophile in the early 80's and how great some of this gear was and still is. I think Stereophile is the only mag that does this sort of thing and I really like going down memory lane and learning new things about older gear. Keep em coming and frequently, life is short.
