More online high-end audio blogs and magazines

Added AudioFi.net, Headphone.guru to the English-language online high-end audio blogs and magazines page for a total of 70 now.

Also added Hi-Fi.ru (Russian), HiFi Live.es (Spanish), HiFi.com.pl (Polish) to the foreign-language high-end audio blogs and magazines page for a total of 45.

OK. A little overwhelming. But pretty cool. A lot of people expressing their opinions and lots of avenues for gear to find a way to get some ‘air time’.

We can look at the stats which tell us how many clicks each of the website logos received. Some people click on logos of websites they have never seen before. Some find their old favorites that they haven’t visited in awhile.

Popular today is Dagogo, Sixmoons, Mono and Stereo, Absolute Sound, the Audio Beat

Yesterday it was Stereophile, Top Audio Gear, Audio X Press, UHF Magazine, and the State of Sound

The fact that these change so much day-to-day is fascinating and not a little bit completely confusing.

The difference between online blogs and online magazines is really, really blurry. I guess blogs make it easy to see the latest articles and magazines often make you think a little harder about what you are looking for.

Some have ‘think pieces’ but most just have lots of reviews. Both rely a lot on having a review of a specific piece of gear that people are using Google to search for.

A few are trying to have fun but most are treating the hobby as a Very Serious, Complex and Technical hobby – not for the faint of heart ;-P

But when I zoom around the web, visiting a lot of these websites, I come away with the feeling that this is a very rich and rewarding hobby, with lots to offer everybody.

Enjoy!
