481.0. "The new Audiophile/What Hi-Fi magazine" by KERNEL::HOGGAND () Mon Jun 06 1994 10:47

    Hi,
    
    Well, have all you loyal Audiophile subscribers received the
    relpacement magazine Grot (oops, I mean What) Hi-Fi? 
    
    Well, the letter to Audiophile subscribers called the new look What
    Hi-Fi "a unique and distinctive partnership" where "all the elements 
    that have made Audiophile... will be retained in What Hi-Fi". I should
    co-co! About two pages from Audiophile have been carried over and the
    rest is written in the, shall we say, distictive style of What Hi-Fi.
    
    Anyone else going to cancel their subscription?
    
    All in all, crap (IMO)!

As the coiner of  the name "Grot" Hi-Fi, my desk is next to Dave's, I too am 
totally underwhelmed by the "combined magazine" which "will feature the best 
of both"

As the letter with the last issue of Audiophile said that they would look 
forward to any comments I may have about "the improved and expanded magazine",
I suspect that I will be calling them to let them know how bad I think this is.

This magazine is a disgrace!

Wonder when they will review some new middle/high end stuff. I had a feeling of
deja-vu looking through some of the reviews. (I'm sure I saw that ARCS review in
last months audiophile)

Oh well I wonder what I'll do with my spare 2 quid odds every month.
