Title: Sound Practices: A Journal of Audio Technology
Description: Sound Practices, Alexandria and Austin, 1992-1997. First Edition, Softcover. Near Fine Condition. 28cm x 21cm. 16 volumes. Illustrated saddle-stapled wrappers. A complete run in 16 issues of the audiophile journal Sound Practices edited by Joe Roberts. "...hands-down the hippest and most controversial hi-fi 'zine, reverses the common belief that the hi-fi gear of the '30s, '40s, and '50s sucked and that modern components sound superior. This mag argues just the reverse: that ever since the gritty transistor replaced the smooth-sounding tube, the sound of hi-fi systems has steadily gotten worse instead of better.. Lest you think that a bunch of guys into '30s retro-tech are old freaks, the Sound Practices mob is made up of swashbuckling techno-anarchists who range from members of the avant-garde NY art scene to many of the most well-respected minds in international hi-fi. And the articles range from the highly technical to wildly imaginative think pieces." (Wired, 1st December 1994) Some issues with minor shelf wear and tanning. Issue 11 with old price sticker to wrappers. Issue 8 with short closed tear to tail of wrappers upper panel. Shipped Weight: 2.3 kilos.
