The only reason that I bought Stereo Review on a regular basis is that I loved to see the new products. Not so much for the reviews. I found it to be useful for this purpose. The actual reviews had no bearing on my choice as far as this or that audio product was concerned. What I truly miss nowadays is the way the speakers and equipment looked. Now it is a black on black and not the same as before.
Plus I was a great fan of Pioneer products and don't seem to see many of these around now....
