ar_pro Posted September 7, 2017 Report Share Posted September 7, 2017 Check this site, too - it provides issues of "Audio" magazine from 1947 - 1999, as well as "High Fidelity" from the first issue in 1951, up to 1970. http://www.americanradiohistory.com/Audio-Magazine.htm Now, if we could just find a good source for those years & years of "Stereo Review" issues from 1968 onward.

genek Posted September 7, 2017 Report Share Posted September 7, 2017 I'm surprised that the current owners of all those dead magazines' content haven't seen a market for making them available on CD or something. Because it seems as if just about everything else vintage is these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool ! Thanks !! I love reading this stuff. I save the links. I was looking at an old Allied Radio catalog online. I loved those as a kid and teenager. I saw GE VR 1000-7 and VR 1000-5 phono cartridges. It interested me how they work....generating the signal right at the diamond. I won an Ebay auction for one tonight. I won a VR 1000-7 but the only difference is the stylus. If it has a 0.5 mil stylus, then it is the VR 1000-5 model. And I think last week I bought the only 0.5 mil stylus in existence for it.

Phxjohn Posted June 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 If anyone is interested, just Google GE VR 1000. In the past months, I have written volumes on this cartridge and particularly the styli. I discovered why most of the styli are useless. It took me a few months to figure it out but no one else figured it out in 56 years. I do use the VR 1000 with a system having AR 6 speakers.

Hi there I just read this topic a few weeks ago, thank you very much. Most all Audio magazines are complete and in downloadable condition, from 1950 - 1990+, thanks to the website owner. I could only imagine if they were presently being newly sold including coupons on every other page, lot's of missing sections. LOL Edgar Villchur was a very knowledgeable contributing author prior to AR. Vern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
