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

H-Fi for pleasure?

** 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.

**Yep. I built my Bailey T-lines from the May 1972 article in WW. Served
me well for more than a decade. The best was a construction article from
April 1971-ish. It was for a 1,000 Watt amplifier. It was powered
directly from 240VAC. The 'author's' name was George Izzard O'Veering. -

Yes. This would have been 1970-ish, and there were four of us, ranging
in age from late teens (me) to mid 50s, with a wide range of interests.
Wireless World was way over my head, but I enjoyed browsing anyway.

Thanks for *all* the replies. No particular reason for the question; I
am just annoyed with myself for not remembering the titles of all four
magazines. So far, none of the suggestions have made me think Yes!, but
that is probably just my memory.

I always enjoyed Hi Fi News, which often featured articles discussing
someone's dedicated listening room, and the lengths people would go to
reproduce perfect sound. Shortly after that I left the parental home
and treated myself to a reasonable tuner/amp which is still in daily
use. That was November 1974, and I still don't have the perfect
listening room :-)

Which was its main appeal afaiwc.

If it's any help, I was a regular reader of "Wireless World" and, iirc,
"HiFi News" but started reading "Studio Sounds" (as an alternative to HFN
afaicr). The Studio Sounds mag carried more technically interesting
articles on the subject of audio engineering. I suspect it could also
have been one of the other mags you were sharing with your buddies.

You're not alone. :-(

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.
