    Same thought here.... I have hundreds of old hi fi mags but finding a specific issue or review would be a major task!

    I probably did have a copy: I use to buy them all in those days. But a couple of so years ago, I threw out a couple of cubic metres of old hi-fi mags.

    The few I have remaining are boxed up, and not easily accessible.

    I was much the same. Had mountains of mags going back to early seventies. Binned 95% and have just a few now.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    I keep thinking about binning all mine but so far nostalgia has the best of me... Some of them are in a pile/row about a metre high and 4 long, more are in old suitcases and in piles in the back of cupboards... I could REALLY do with the space but the thought of all those reviews, technical articles and opinion pieces that took years to accumulate, and cost a pretty penny spread out over several years, just being binned... hmmm. I even have maybe a metre high pile of brochures and spec sheets from hi fi shows going back to the early 80's... Hoarder? me?

    I came to a decision a few years back and dumped around half of mine and retained the rest. I did not start my interest until the late 80s so cant help Peter but I when I started I purchased most titles regularly except What HiFi which I felt was mainly advertising with limited content.

    I thought about retaining New HiFi Sound because of the record reviews but Q did them better so dumped those. I also dumped my collection of HiFi Answers because I felt the content was bland. However I quite liked the Audiophile mag that HiFi Answers morphed into so should have most of those. I also kept HiFi Review and a lot of the early HiFi World when that replaced HFR. I have some HiFi News and Record Review but not sure how many I retained.

    'Hi Fi World', 'Hi Fi Review' and the excreable 'The Flat Respose', were a total waste of paper and nothing more than an organ of the arch Flat Earther. propagandist.

    I have one issue of "The Flat response" and yes it is laughable! I liked "Hi Fi World" though... a good mix of technical, DIY and reviews IMHO... and there is an amp designed by my good self on the front cover of the Nov '95 issue
