I obviously don't subscribe to any print mags and don't religiously read any of the online blogs, mags or such, nowadays it's mostly this forum and diyaudio on occasion, such as the last couple moonths as I have been working on a pair of aleph J monoblocks. I do however lament the loss of Valve and Sound Practices.
Now if there is a piece of gear that I may be interessted in, I'll read any and all online reviews and comments I can find and try to make up my mind if it is something I think is worth a try. Most recently, in search of a super efficient, single driver, full range speaker I gobbled up all I could on the Rethm Trishnas and now a pair is on their way from India to me for my trial period. No telling what will happen, but I did have to have some time with these as they just looked too much like what I want for my listening room. And no, this is not to say there is anything wrong with the Orcas or Nagas -- still love them, but I do want the extra efficiency and am simply not willing to give up my 45s and 2a3s for an 845, 6c33c or the like just to have the power reserve for the dynamic scale I want to reach in my referrence setup.
As for online mags I will look at on a semi regular basis, PFO is one I go to often. I'd probably look at some of the others too but they are too hyperactive with respect to my screen reader and I can never read more than a line or two before I find myself at the top or bottom of the page.
I like it here at BH and even though some of us have some wildly different tastes in music, sound, etc., it's all good. Dan has really and truly built an online community of substance and integrity like no other I've seen anywhere.
