RE: Wasn't it staffed by writers who used to work for High Fidelity magazine? [nt]

I now believe I was thinking of Opus Magazine, not Ovation, and you are probably, too. Yes, Opus was started by writers from High Fidelity who quit when that magazine cut its classical music coverage drastically. High Fidelity always had far better coverage of classical than its main rival of the times, Stereo Review, but as rock took over like everywhere else, the suits starting making the inevitable cuts in coverage.
Opus only lasted a few years before its owners decided its bottom line wasn't worth continuing with it. Early 80s.
Amazingly, back issues of High Fidelity are available online (ink). Brings back a lot of memories, some of which are back when I drooled over Japanese gear for sale at dirt cheap prices in the PXes I got to occasionally in Viet Nam. Ended up with mainly Sansui gear and a Teac tape deck.
