Editorial: Rich’s Ramblings
Happy birthday to us! It’s hard to believe that a year has already passed since the publication of our first issue, yet here we are! In the past twelve months we’ve listened to some really great gear and even more great records. We’ve even been to a few audio shows where I’ve had the pleasure of meeting some of you. Somewhat related to that, we’ve had the opportunity to listen to some great music from independent artists, and give them some exposure which I hope has helped them sell a few records.
Next year we plan to do more of the same: more equipment reviews, more interviews, and of course more record reviews. Another thing that will remain the same is our dedication to stereo high-end (but not necessarily high-priced) audio. As much as we love movies and the convenience of digital streaming, we’re more than happy to leave the reviewing of home theatre and multi-channel audio equipment to our friends in other publications.
Talking of the digizine’s contents, here’s your chance to help shape what Vinylphile looks like. What do you like, and what do you dislike? Send us an email with your thoughts, or follow us on Twitter!
I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank every one of you for reading Vinylphile; our friends and colleagues in the industry for their help and encouragement; and last, but by no means least, our advertisers (without whom bills couldn’t be paid!).
And now for something completely different: as we put this article to bed, The Home Entertainment Show in Newport is about to start. We had intended to attend, but life has its way of interrupting the best plans at times! Hopefully next year we’ll be there, so until then, enjoy the show!
