Around 1970ish, four of us formed an informal club whereby we each
bought one magazine per month, which was subsequently circulated such
that we all read four magazines a month, for the price of one.

Two were Hi Fi News and Wireless World. Any suggestions as to the
titles of the other two?



** You sure about Wireless World ?

Most content was highly technical and about electronics in general, rather than hi-fi audio.

There were some DIY articles on amplifiers and FM tuners for the advanced constructor.


Practical Wireless - I think this was the magazine with the amusing 'In
My Workshop' column - anecdotes from a TV repair man and his apprentice.

Gramophone - More about the latest classical releases but there was some
hi-fi content.

Gramophone and Wireless World were the flagship magazines.
All you needed if you wanted the best recordings and equipment.
