The list

This article needs input from somebody who can trace the beginning of the Audio list of recommended products, a tradition that was later picked up by Stereo Review when Audio was killed off. Binksternet (talk) 05:03, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

To the best of my knowledge, Audio never had a list of recommended products (you may be thinking of Stereophile).--Michael Riggs (talk) 21:12, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hall of Fame?

Did Audio magazine induct David Hafler and Paul Klipsch into a "Hall of Fame" of their devising in 1984? Or was it some other audio organization? Binksternet (talk) 05:03, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Audio did not have a Hall of Fame. You probably are thinking of the IHF (Institute of High Fidelity) Hall of Fame.--Michael Riggs (talk) 21:13, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Magazine's Motto?

The magazine had a motto: "The Authoritative magazine about audio" that was quite true. The publication was much more factual than Stereo Review or High fidelity, its equipment reviews were much more complete and extense, and appreciated by more knowledgeable people. The comment on the short column called "Auricle" are right on, those marked a change in the heading of the magazine, and were introduced in order to please a sector of the readership catering to see more "exotic" equipment "reviewed" without any rational analysis or testing, and to accomodate interests of so called "high-End" manufacturers. amclaussen. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.100.180.19 (talk) 15:05, 15 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Missing In Action

I was surprised that Edward Tantall Canby was not mentioned amongst the contributors. ETC was a relatively long running column in the publication that was written by him. Also, there was no mention of the annual directory that appeared in the October issues containing much, if not all, of the audio equipment available from various manufacturers. Another feature worth mentioning, in my opinion, is the annual April Fool's issue where inventions from Lirpa Labs - and Prof. I. Lirpa - were featured in such a manner as to make them appear legitimate. I always found those articles entertaining and the magazine, as a whole, to be a great education in my understanding of audio and concepts/physics related to audio. Not sure these items are necessary in the article, but I would be willing to edit the article to include them. Thoughts?THX1136 (talk) 15:25, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The reason these people and themes are not mentioned is that there is surprisingly little written about the magazine in WP:Reliable sources. I welcome anyone who can expand the article. Binksternet (talk) 16:02, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
