Hi-Fi and other audio only consumer publications.
English
APJ (USA)Or Audio Perfectionist Journal, a quarterly print magazine that the publisher refers to as an "educational publication", but like so many other such publications through the years it is a tad too opinionated and personal to function as such, some interesting material nevertheless
Audio and Music Bulletin (Holland)
Dutch webzine written in both English and Dutch, a bit extreme at times but fun to read
Audio Ideas Guide (Canada)
A quarterly Canadian magazine, wide range of equipment reviewed from MP3 players to high end equipment
Audio Musings (USA)
High end oriented
Audiophilia
Webrag
BAJ (UK)
Formerly known as the British Audio Journal, for hi-fi and AV retailers
BFS report (USA)
Formerly known as Bound For Sound, high end rag
Gramophone (UK)
Primarily a classical music magazine but has a number of hardware reviews in each issue
Hi-Fi Choise (UK)
Monthly. One of the Future Publishing titles but that is a UK publishing giant that specialises in making beginner friendly mags, a bit lacking in quality compared to what it was in years gone by.
Hi-Fi News (UK)
Monthly. More high end oriented than it was some 20 years ago, although for reasons unknown the writers try to inject iPod related reviews in between the £10k amplifier adverts. Sadly completely lacking in authority these day's and something of a joke compared to what was along with Germany's Audio the most respected Hi-Fi magazine on the planet, articles regarding vintage audio in particular invariably factually incorrect and drowning in histrionics
Hi-Fi World (UK)
The last Flat Earth hi-fi magazine still in print and as such something of a dinosaur, but gaining market share from HFN which actually tells you more about the current state of HFN than it tells you about HFW
Planet Hi-Fi (USA)
High end oriented web mag.
Resolution
A magazine geared towards the professional recording studio and post production sector, was founded by ex-Studio Sound staffers after that mag folded
Soundstage Network (Canada)
A web publication that masquerades under a variety of names such as HomeTheatre Sound, GoodSound and so on, structured and marketed much like a magazine minus the production values
Stereophile (USA)
Covers the mid to high end. Boring.
TNT-Audio (Italy)
A nice webzine that covers mostly the high end, published both in English and Italian
Ultimate Audio (USA)
High end mag
UHF (USA)
Or Ultra High Fidelity
Vacum tube Valley (USA)
Tubes are what thermionic valves referred to in some of the colonies, in other words a magazine for those that think that hi-fi products shuld produce light as well as sound
What Hi-Fi ? (UK)
Britains best selling audio releated magazine, aimed squarely at the average consumer, writing and test quality all over the place, AV reviews in particular are dreaful but the same product with different front panels and brand names can get wildly different reviews. Conversly the LP related reviews are superb
German
Audio (Germany)
Hörerlebnis (Germany)
High end magazine
Stereo (Germany)
Hi-Fi mag.
Stereoplay (Germany)
Danish/Swedish/Norwegian
