It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Did Stereophile essentially abandon classical music in the 1990’s?

Yes, is my take. They still employ Richard Lehnert, my favorite reviewer for the mag, but his articles are rarely published. Kal Rubinson I read for his multi-channel reviews, but they are basically skeletons. Not enough from either of these guys for me to renew my sub. Too bad.

This was just brought to mind on reading an article by Mortimer Frank in Fanfare, Vol. 32, No. 3.

“The death of High Fidelity and of its major competitor, Stereo Review, created a void that many have felt was impossible to fill. Stereophile, to which I contributed for several years, did so in part, but essentially turned its back on classical recording when it changed hands in the 1990s.”
