Hi dude,
I'm only after specific ones including Quad and the likes off you know what i mean i was just reading a few reviews of Saturn Sound and got me interested. They have a lot of Quad stuff on that site but would like to start a collection of mags with quad in as would itch the collector bug bit sad really but just interesting to see if anyone has any even the hard back books which are a rarity. :) Space here is limited i'm choker as it is :rolleyes:.
Loads from around 95-2006 with plenty of full years if anyones interested. Seriously, just come and take them off my hands... they're all in a box and weigh a bloody ton

:D Theres a Popular Hi-Fi around 1973 with a '33' on the cover..
Hi Dan,
If, in your quest for old HiFi mags, you come across any articles or reviews on the IAS Beaulieu's (or any IAS ), any chance you could copy them for me. I'm only in Lymington so I could collect.
Cheers, Steve

Hi
I know there not i had a quick look on ebay and was stumped buy the price but a few lucky ones have bought them for £10 to £25. There are versions on CD to but its not like having the real thing to read though. There seems to be loads about but hard to find specific ones i want and more often then not there the rare ones :eyebrows: but still looking you never know.

Yeh those transfers to CD are not like owning the original item, this is very true same with music CDee in general imho they are not like owning the actual album on LP
