Hi everybody,

I'm a newbie to the forums, but a long-time music lover and more recent devotee of the high-end. I'm also a graduate student at MIT studying the history and sociology of technology, and I've made the history of high-end audio the subject of my dissertation research. Part of my research includes going through old back issues of Stereophile and looking at equipment reviews, show reports, and other articles. Lucky for me, I was able to purchase many back issues through Stereophile (thanks again, Stephen!) but I'm still looking for some, particularly the period from the later 1960s through the late 1970s.

Stephen recommended that I post here to see if any of you have back issues from this period you'd be willing to donate or loan for my project. In the case of a loan, I should point out that I do most of my note-taking with voice recognition software so that my materials remain unmarked. If any of you can help out, feel free to reply here or send me an email -- kieran (at) mit.edu

Thanks a lot!!

Kieran Downes
