**Note - Some links may be in a language other than English. Some of these sites offer an English version (usually a British or American Flag somewhere near the top). Some audio magazine links may sell equipment and vice versa. Appoligize in advance about repeated links and inappropriate links (such video and/ or home theater links). Also, there may be some crossover to music which would be nice if we could make a master list of music related sites with subcategories for places to buy, live music, music reviews etc.

Playback Magazine which is part of the AV Guide family.

http://www.avguide.com/channel/cyberlistener

The Perfect Vision is alive again.

http://www.avguide.com/channel/the-perfect-vision

And lastly Daily Audiophile while not a magazine has a great summary of what is happening on other sites.

http://www.dailyaudiophile.com/


This list should be a sticky somewhere.

Have to agree with the folks who said Darko. I watched his video on 2019 Warsaw AV show. It was great. He is down to Earth and fun. Not like most of the Audio reviewers where one feels like you are gasping for air with their snobbish outlooks. I like his attitude.

Incredible list of audio publications compiled here! Thanks. I recognize a few and look forward to visiting. just hope that they're still online.  I'd be interested to see YouTube Channels on topic, if anyone has a favorite to share.

No YT favorites, prefer read text instead, always liked this site about Full Range drivers and small tube amps, no advertisers and influencers.

Thanks for the tip! Will definitely check it out glowinthedarkaudio.com. I too appreciate the more thoughtful approach that can be adopted in print--either paper or online. But, it's always special to see a demo of something amazingly built and beautiful in a way, hence the YT query. Probably a substitute for less frequent visits to audio "salon" stores, though not being able to hear it live is a significant drawback!

www.classic-audio.com is a great site for models/ specifications of marantz/ pioneer gear.

Its an antique of a site, hasnt changed in 25 years, but a ton of useful info.
I am not associated with the site at all, just figured I would add a resource.

Is TAS still considered an authority on high end?

I recall back when they accepted no ads and HP was the kingpin....times have changed.

I like Enjoy the Music reviews and Part time audiophile...selectively, I like Stereo Times and TNT as well!

At that time TAS was called the Bible, the size was as small as Reader’s Digest mag, but it weight a ton as they made very detailed analyses never seen again in any area.
