The Mike New Technics Bearing

I don't, not now that DP has defected to Hi-Fi Choice!

Hi-Fi For Pleasure then... or Hi-Fi Today perhaps.

Doesn't really seem like a Choice thing - I still reckon World but we'll see (unfortunately I don't read either of those mags so I won't personally see - but you get my drift).

[Marco]

Does that still exist?

In my memory - it's a sort of joke relating to how magazines have changed. I think mags should do more stuff of this type and more 'tweaking' stuff in general - making your own cables etc. It's interesting to read about high-end gear that is pushing the design envelope - but a lot of reviewing has just become elaborate repetition of the sales brochure.

I completely agree. There should be more articles featured that appeal to GENUINE enthusiasts, such as you've highlighted, and less that pander to the interests of those with an obsession for 'audiophile jewellery'.

I actually like reading about ultra expensive audio, but I want to read a genuinely considered investigation not just the rephrasing of the manufacturers marketing blurb that seems to pass as reviewing in some quarters these days (when reviews start to think of themselves primarily as journalists I worry).

I do agree with your sentiments, but I have little interest in "ultra expensive audio", as in my experience, it's usually "ultra expensive" for all the wrong reasons!

Well said I agree.

Thought so! It had to be, simply because David Price would've largely been behind it.
