"HIGH-FIDELITY" - Angekündigt im April 1951 in der AUDIO -
in Juli 1989 an "Stereo Review" verkauft bzw. "eingegliedert"
Durch Zufall sehe ich in der "AUDIO Engineering" (der späteren US-AUDIO) vom April 1951 eine sonderbare ausgeblichene Anzeige für eine weitere neue Audio-Zeitschrift "HIGH-FIDELITY". Der Chefredakteur von der US-AUDIO hatte sich zu diesem Zeitpunkt sicher noch keine Gedanken darüber gemacht, daß dieses neue Magazin mal sein ärgster Rivale werden würde.
Die Anzeige beginnt mit folgendem Titel :
"If you're an AUDIO-PHILE*" . . . .

Die Versprechungen stehen in der Spalte rechts neben dran:
In the last two years, there has developed an amazing interest in fine radio and recorded music for home entertainment. Previously the possibilities of high fidelity reproduction were known only to engineers and a few technically-minded hobbyists.
But suddenly people began to reject the synthetic tone quality of ordinary radio sets and phonographs. For they discovered the totally different kind of music available from the new types of records, improved tape recorders, and static-free FM broadcasting.
And to their surprise, they found that equipment capable of magnificent tone quality is moderate in cost, admirably suited to inconspicuous custom built instalations.
The more people learned about this new kind of musical entertainment, the more they wanted a source of information devoted to their particular interests. HIGH-FIDELITY Magazine has been brought out meet their specific needs.
