Hi-Fi Plus has been a part of the Absolute Multimedia (now Nextscreen) group for some time. That includes TAS and Playback. The Nextscreen people was felt it was time to make that association more visible.

The great audio knitting circle has read almost everything into those three little words on the cover, all of which is complete nonsense (although mysteriously they were right about me bumping off Jimmy Hoffa because he knew too much about JFK acting as pilot for Elvis' UFO).

(oh, and it's not so sunny anymore)

    Roy Gregory chose to remain as a contributor to the magazine, in addition to his other duties.

  Are there still two separate magazines?

      Do you have inside information? Or is this what you consider to be an educated guess? Or just typical Internet BS?

    Yes. We do syndicate a small amount of material, but the two magazines have complete independence.

      I shall either cancel my subscription to Absolute Sound or 'Plus'....maybe both. Commerce is at the heart of magazine publishing, but the trick is not to let it become too obvious. These magazines now read like products designed by accountants......

        IMO HiFi+ provides good articles on system setup & tuning, as well as many interesting equipment and album reviews. I'll continue my subscription.

      I like someone who stands up.
      "I'm Spartacus" kind of thing.

        Funnily enough, I distinctly remember one of the job interview questions this time was "Do you like movies about gladiators?"
