Thanks to Lighthouse for mentioning this new magazine from the UK. www.hificritic.co.uk

I don't want to step on Lighthouses' thread but this topic seems to deserve its own space on this forum. Joining it with the annoucement thread will only cloud both issues. Therefore; http://www.hificritic.co.uk/downloads/Archive_1.pdf

For those who like the scriblings of Paul Messenger and Martin Colloms, they have apparently teamed up to start a new Hi-Fi mag.

There are some interesting comments on their website www.hificritic.co.uk

Cheers

Great article by Keith Howard about the effect of voice coil heating in speaker performance. Nice to see an article that is still printed even after despite all of the work that went into it, concluded that voice coil heating was insignificant. Not all tests have exciting results. Thanks for publishing stories that have less than exiting results.

I am in the market for an SACD player and an integrated AMP. I've long loved the Marantz name and have my mind on the Marantz SA-15S1 and PM-15S1. So natually I checked this issue but found no Marantz products mentioned anywhere. I am wondering is it not a good enough brand or similar products have been reviewed before?

Thanks in advance.

Dear Stereophile:

Will you publish a review of the Meridian Audio Signature Reference 808i (relatively) soon? Thank you.
