The Audiophile Voice (USA)
Small USA based magazine published by Eugene Sharon Pitts III, former editor of Audio. Publishes an eccentric mix of equipment reviews and music content, the reviews are mostly mid and high end audio products although some personal audio and low end stuff occasionally shows up as well. Music content is mostly Jazz and rock music from the 60's and 70's, making me guess that the average age of the readers of this magazine is closer to 80 than it is to 20. TAV has survived quite a bit longer than most such hobby magazines, or for 15 years since Mr Pitts took over and before that for a few years as a publication of the Audiophile Society, and is in general better written than most such

Mr Pitts bought the TAV newsletter in 1995 from the New York based AS after loosing his job at Audio magazine and slowly built it into something more magazine like. It is published by his company called Guts & Elbow Grease Publishing Ltd., that is based in Upper Montclair, New Jersey, and these days is primarily distributed via the mail with it getting difficult to find on newsstands, they are however quite accommodating in sending out sample issues, so do not hesitate to contact them for one such if you are in North America, and subscriptions are not that dear either.

Bound For Sound Report (USA)
Unusual and interesting USA monthly magazine we are not sure if it is the world’s smallest hi-fi magazine or the last hi-fi fanzine standing, the mag is focused on mid and high end audio, and increasingly on vintage audio and analogue equipment in the recent years. BfSR contains no adverts and is only about 14 pages each month but has managed to survive for more than 20 years nonetheless, each issue features mostly reviews and usually an opinion/observation piece or 2 and sometimes music reviews, mostly classical, but no news features or fluff, except for the very rare article on dinosaur rock. Primus motor behind the magazine is lawyer Martin G De Wulf.

HiFi-World (UK)
Monthly UK based print magazine, reviews of hi-fi equipment and opinion articles mostly, sometimes with a little bit of audio home theatre products coverage thrown in for a good measure and a few music reviews. Last of the "Flat Earth" magazines that ruled the roost in the UK hi-fi publishing business for a few years in the 80's and true to form at times a bit xenophobic specially in the opinion pieces and vintage audio features, but also show a preference for "British" kit when it comes to reviews, although much of that is only nominally British. Best thing about the mag is their vinyl section but unlike the other UK magazines they never completely stopped reviewing turntable related products.

The magazine is published and edited by Noel Philip Keywood who used to run audio kit manufacturer World Audio Design and the mag often had articles discussing and reviewing WAD kits, but not always construction articles oddly enough. HiFi World does offer a digital edition, however while the price at 1.90 UK pounds an issue is fair enough compared to the local newsstand price it is 4 to 5 times what the USA hi-fi magazines are charging for a non-printable, on-line reading only issues and the delivery service they use is a bit slow to boot.

Stereophile
USA based high end audio magazine, originally founded in 1962 by J. Gordon Holt. The magazine has a firm policy of only reviewing products that have a solid distribution inside the USA already, alongside a preference for American and English made products. This makes if often appear behind the times and quite frankly not much of an interesting read for those of us outside of the country since it frequently covers issues and equipment long since beaten to death in the electronic and local hi-fi media, the only bits of interest being reviews of USA made equipment that are seldom seen on this side of the pond.

The quality of the hardware reviews can be quite good though, the same cannot be said about the music reviews, which like much of what is on offer in the audiophile press in general, are firmly focused on the stone age and to be pefectly honest make for a bit of a dull reading at times, given that you already read about and listened to this music 30 years+ earlier.

In addition to hardware content there are also some music reviews and other musical content such as interviews and tour reports, as with most merkin audio publications this is mostly jazz, easy listening and reissues of 30 to 50 year old pop records, or modern content in such styles.
