Stereophile recently put out a publication that does something similar. It should still be on magazine racks. I, too, have been looking for a replacement for the October issue of Audio, but I wasn't very impressed with Stereophile's effort, so I gave it a pass.

While, not the same neat order that the magazine had them, there's always online resources such as:

where one can also browse by category, still not nearly as convenient or

Nothing has ever replaced the superb Audio magazine annual equipment directory in terms of comprehensiveness. Sound & Vision (formerly Stereo Review) still produces its annual directory, which is on newsstands now. Of course, it has never been a match for dear, departed Audio's.

Only in Audio magazine's equipment directory will you find Lirpa Lab's amazing components.

Home Theater Mag does one too. And, I've found mistakes and omissions in S&V's that Home Theater usually gets right.

I have a complete set of the Audio directories back to 1984!

My first Audio equipment directory was the 1969 edition!

Dang!

One interesting site I've found, www.roger-russell.com .

The dude has a bunch of old Stereo Reviews, Audios, and High Fidelities. He'll send you copies of old eqp reviews for a very nominal charge. I've gotten 3 batches from him over the years, and he's quite a nice guy.

Of the current Buyer's Guides available, the Sound and Vision one is much better than the Stereophile one. I try to collect all the buyer's guides as a reference in case I ever buy used equipment, etc.

Steve- Thanks. I have the S&V and HT Mag dirs for this year, and was wondering if I should bother with the Stereophile one. Yeah, good resource (in the future) for buying more expensive used stuff.
