[QUOTE="pwatts, post: 1074204, member: 146"] I once got a whole stash of AVSA's spanning from the early 90's to about 2000. The difference was profound. The old ones were thick and full of insightful articles including in-depth writings by Gunther Steinhartm and ads took up maybe 10% of the pages. The newer ones (and that was still in 2005) were half as thick with ads occupying about half the content. The actual non-marketing material was mostly pictures and very little written, resulting in an amount one can read through in one loo-session. Compare that to an older What Hi-Fi from the 90's that was over a cm thick and took about an hour to read end-to-end. In fairness (biased views aside), even they began downsizing similarly in later years by shrinking the page count and increasing the picture-to-text ratios. [/QUOTE]
