Now then people, enough of this nonsense!
Let's try and be sensible here - let's get back to the matter in hand.

Hifi For Pleasure always baffled me. I mean, would you want hifi that wasn't for pleasure; that turned you into a geek wanting to try out that latest tweak in a doomed attempt to find perfection, listening obsessively to the same track from 'Love Over Gold' time and time again?
It was just a name of an audio magazine. There were plenty of others around in the 70's and '80s:
Popular Hi-Fi - would you wan't it to be 'Unpopular Hi-Fi'?
Practical Hi-Fi (and Audio) - 'Impractical Hi-Fi' ?
Hi-Fi for Pleasure - 'Hi-Fi for Pain and Misery'?
Hi-Fi Answers - 'Hi-Fi Obfuscation and Confusion'?
In the '90s there was:
Audiophile - 'Audiophobe'?
The Flat Response -'The Flatulant Response'?
Hi-Fi Review - 'Hi-Fi Refuse'?
(The last two alternative titles are closer to the mark, for those blatently biased and sycophantic rags).

Caroline's even more pedantic that me, which is quite an achievement. I'm a bit hazy on when to use 'that' and when to use 'which', but Caroline's a sub-editor on a scholarly journal and is down on any incorrect usage like a ton of bricks.
Our elder daughter clearly takes after her; I remember many years ago when she was about 5, we went past a sign that read: 'Don't even think about parking here!'. My daughter said 'That sign's not right, is it daddy?'. I asked her what was wrong with it, and she replied 'It should say: 'Please don't even think of parking here!''
Here is nice link to Germans audio forum with lots of classic hi-fi advertising.
On the other hands I'm especially interested in tests or reviews of Sansui's gear from UK audio magazines in period 70'-80'.So,if someone has an old magazines,and can scan,would be very,very grateful
Something like that:
PS-money is not an object.
