Issue 111 of The Absolute Sound, cover-dated September/October 1997 and put
together by Peter Braverman, was the last issue to be published by HP.
Issue 112, the magazine's 25th anniversary issue and cover-dated May/June
1998 was the first to be published by Tom Martin's Absolute Multimedia.

1996.
Things were getting financially rocky at TAS in 1996, due in part, I
understood at the time, to its then publisher, an HP protege, ripping
the company off.

John,
How would you compare the shows today with the stereophile shows of that era..?

In general (and not including CES and the Munich Show), current North
American audio shows each have lower attendance than most the of the
Stereophile shows. This might just be because there are now so many shows,
whereas back in the day, each Stereophile show was No.1 in a field of 1.
