Oh Gawd - I go back to 1967 when I was ten years old and buying Hi Fi Sound magazine every month with my pocket money! This mag had a good mix of proper tech based reviews with subjective comments on speakers mainly unless the amps under test had audible distortions or tuners/tape machines too much hiss, adjacent channel interference (on FM) or response issues that affected reproduction.
I kept them all until the mag was absorbed into a sibling publication and all the tech side gradually evaporated, but they were stored in a damp loft and were terminally damaged and dirty when I went to extract them. Looking back, I wonder if I could have separated and cleaned them as I really need these reviews to make sense of now very vintage gear that was reviewed. HiFi News was a bit high-brow for my young tastes and the UK audio future was assured when 'HiFi Answers, Practical HiFi' and others came along, pandering increasingly to the new-age subjectivists. By the late 70's it was all over sadly...
