Audio magazines?

Depends on the magazines. I've collected TAS and lately the very early issues of Stereophile. You could try and advertise them here on ePay.

Me too.
But for some reason, if I read something I feel the need to keep it.
Auto and Audio fanzine stacks.

Everyone should do as they please. I just don't want my kids to ask themselves "why in the heck did he keep all this stuff" as they clean out the place when I'm gone. :P
 
I read them and you need something to pass the time while on the throne.:snicker: In most cases the mag's get thrown away and or end up residing in the cat box

I have accumulated years of Audio magazines. Should I just throw them out? What do you guys do with yours?

I am a big 2nd hand buyer...always have been. So those magazines have been invaluable to me. I bought the SF Guarneris nearly 10 years after they came out...really great to flip right to Martin Colloms' review. I went thru a phase of searching for a 2nd hand amp...all the old Krell FPBs, etc were all right there for reading...

I also got Strads 2nd hand...and eventually our current Wilson X1s...great to have those old reviews ready to read. That said, if I did not do this, I'd have let 'em go.
 
Like Jim, I keep only the more recent issues. I hate clutter. And, you can get the reviews online anyway...
 
I let my subscription to TAS elapse and will not be renewing it anytime soon. Stereophile is a waste and when it runs out I'll not be renewing it either.

I recycled all of the issues that I had.

...All articles and reviews?

* Like physical audio gear and music mediums there is something "precious & magic" about real-life audio magazines that you can turn the pages and look at the pictures of the gear and read their reviews with lab measurements. :)

Clutter? What clutter if you keep them all organized like you normally do with everything else in your life.

<> Before Internet there was audio mags that we were reading. ...It is part of our audio history, our audio journey, a part of our heritage in life.
...And it is our freedom to dispose of them like we wish to, or keep them for the reasons we attach to them; similar to our turntables and records of nostalgia years.
And if somewhere on the Internet someone is asking a question on a certain product in time, there is an answer coming directly from that reference audio library, and that wasn't transferred to the Internet, or where you have to pay for a subscription.

I have several audio mags that are from the 60s and 70s, and some from the 50s that I was buying at second-hand book stores when I was only 20-years old.
